singleton is used in which pattern code example

Example 1: singleton pattern

class Singleton:
    __instance = None
    def __new__(cls, *args):
        if cls.__instance is None:
            cls.__instance = object.__new__(cls, *args)
        return cls.__instance

Example 2: singleton design pattern

Singleton Design Pattern is basically limiting our class so that 
whoever is using that class can only create 1 instance from that class.
       
I create a private constructor which limits access to the instance of the class.
Than I create a getter method where we specify how to create&use the instance.
