Why not __new__ gets called before __init__ ?

Question

As I read in object lifecycle topic, that __new__ method occurs just before instantiation. But when I run below code, I always get printed "init calling", not getting printed "new calling" before "init calling". Why?

class ABC:
def __init__(self):
print("init calling")

def __new__(self):
print("new calling")

def __call__(self):
print("call calling")

a = ABC()

If you want to control creating your object, you need write your own code, which creates the object (using super) and then return it. Your __new__ does not create object.
