Here is an example implementation of a singleton class in Python: ```python class Singleton: _instance = None def __new__(cls): if cls._instance is None: print("Creating new instance") cls._instance = super().__new__(cls) else: print("Using existing instance") return cls._instance ``` In this implementation, the `_instance` variable keeps track of whether an instance of the class has already been created. The `__new__` method is called when an instance of the class is requested. If an instance has already been created, it returns that instance. Otherwise, it creates a new instance and returns that.
