Initialized tuple element becoming NoneType

Question

I init a tuple here

players = [Player("Local", (0,0), 20)]

and whenever I try to access any of the player's classes members from that element I get a NoneType object has no attribute 'model' error:

players[0].model.pos = mousepos

I don't understand why I can't use that element because I am initializing that element as type 'Player'

Thanks in advance

Edit: keep in mind that I make no modifications to players or any of it's elements in between those 2 snippets

Edit2: Class definitions

class Circle():
    pos = (0,0)
    radius = 0.0

class Player():
    name = ""
    model = Circle()
    def __new__(self, Name = "", pos = (0,0), radius = 0):
        name = Name
        model = Circle()
        model.pos = pos
        model.radius = radius

Answer 1

You should use __init__ instead of __new__

Here is an example for __init__ and __new__:

class newStyleClass(object): 
    # In Python2, we need to specify the object as the base.
    # In Python3 it's default.

    def __new__(cls):
        print("__new__ is called")
        return super(newStyleClass, cls).__new__(cls)

    def __init__(self):
        print("__init__ is called")
        print("self is: ", self)

newStyleClass()
