+### Constructors which accept a class argument
+
+To create a constructor which takes a positional class argument, you can combine the `#[classmethod]` and `#[new]` modifiers:
+```rust
+# use pyo3::prelude::*;
+# use pyo3::types::PyType;
+# #[pyclass]
+# struct BaseClass(PyObject);
+#
+#[pymethods]
+impl BaseClass {

 ## Static methods
 
 To create a static method for a custom class, the method needs to be annotated with the
