I think your not calling the base class method here. So thats why you
have the recursion.
def create(self, name='file', addPlace2dTexture=True):
self.create(name=name)
>From the python docs...
An overriding method in a derived class may in fact want to extend
rather than simply replace the base class method of the same name.
There is a simple way to call the base class method directly: just
call BaseClassName.methodname(self, arguments). This is occasionally
useful to clients as well. (Note that this only works if the base
class is defined or imported directly in the global scope.)
Hope this helps.
