Yep, it exists.

class MyObject:
    """ This is the class of object I want to create """
    def __init__(self, name, bases, dict):
        # ...do whatever you want here...
        print "NOTE: creating a MyObject with name =", name

# Here I make the ancestor...
ancestor = MyObject('ancestor', (), {})

# Now I can make objects like this:
class Foo(ancestor):
    x = 3
    y = 4
    # ...

print Foo    # voila!
