You don’t seem to be paying attention to the answers.

It doesn’t create an instance of anything. It just sets tp_new to
PyType_GenericNew.

Instances of the PWM type are created by calling tp_new with &PWMType as
is first argument (plus some other details). In both cases, tp_new is
set to PyType_GenericNew. The number of instances of the PWM type
created is the same as the number of calls.

Neither way of setting tp_new creates anything. They both just set the
value of tp_new to PyType_GenericNew. I have no idea why you think it
does anything else.

The number of calls through tp_new is precisely the same as the number
of PWM instances created.
