If you do nothing else in your constructor except calling the super constructor you could as well delete the constructor.

Ummm... (Great work btw: I thought this would take a long time to get implemented, but here you are, making the Advanced Clock Plugin even better.)

So am I changing
def __init__([something in here])
or
clock.Clock.__init__([something in here])
or both?

If I understand correctly, I can just delete the __init__ area for something like the Binary4DotClock, since nothing happens in the init area. However, I do need the __init__ area for the clock style I'm currently working on, since that's where I initially create some variables which I need existing before the draw clock area takes over and runs with them indefinitely.

- Edit -
Enceladus, here you go, fixed Binary4Dot:
Binary4DotClock.py.txt
Also, here's the fixed DateTimeLinearClock, for the guy who wanted that originally, since that broke with this update too:
DateTimeLinearClock.py.txt
