Code Challenge Help

I'm unclear as to what I'm doing wrong/missing... Instructions are pretty straight forward, but the error messages I get when reworking my code just aren't helpful at all...

instructions: Remove pass from the body of the Double class. Define the new method. The new method should accept self and one argument. Convert the argument to an int and return it.

class Double(int):
    def __new__(self, value):
        self = int.__new__(self, value)
        return int(self.value)

let's see there are a few error's here!

class Double(int) :
    def __new__(*args,**kwargs):
        self = int.__new__(*args,**kwargs)
        return self

sigh... this was one of the answers I tried, perhaps with the exception of return int(self) --> which of course didn't pass... I hate that I can come so close, but because the error messages are so vague, I can end up even further from the solution by the time I'm done.

Thank you for the help!
