One of the main design concepts in Dabo is you should rarely if ever
have to touch __init__(). There are hook methods that are empty by
default, so you can override them without fear of messing anything
up. They are:
beforeInit() - fires before the __init__() code executes. Returning
False from this method will prevent the object from instantiating.
initProperties() - allows you to specify properties to be set, just
as if you had passed them to the constructor.
initEvents() - allows you to specify event bindings to be set.
afterInit() - is called after the __init__() method has completed.
afterInitAll() - is called after this object and all its child
objects have been created.
BTW, this looks like a great question to add to the Wiki. Thanks!
