mixin class

Hi,

I try to implement mixin classes. Thats why I
need to make a new class at runtime.

--tmp.py-------------------------------------

import new

class K1(object):
    pass

class K2(object):
    pass

mixed =  new.classobj("K1_K2", (K1, K1), {})
new_instance = new.instance(mixed, {})

print new_instance

---------------------------------------------

Making a new instance from the new class works
only if K1 is not derived from object. If I use
new style classes I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tmp.py", line 10, in ?
    new_instance = new.instance(mixed, {})
TypeError: instance() argument 1 must be class, not type

I use Python 2.2.3 and Win2000.

My question: How do I implement mixin classes
with new style classes?

Thanks,

Udo
