I want to subclass a numeric type (say, int) in python and give it a shiny complex constructor. Something like this:

class NamedInteger(int):
    def __init__(self, value):
        super(NamedInteger, self).__init__(value)
        self.name = 'pony'

    def __str__(self):
        return self.name

x = NamedInteger(5)
print x + 3
print str(x)

This works fine under Python 2.4, but Python 2.6 gives a deprecation warning. What is the best way to subclass a numeric type and to redefine constructors for builtin types in newer Python versions?
