1. Please, test your attempts before posting, it would be helpful for
   you as for the people who try to understand you.

2. Are you sure you want __slots__? 99.9% of times __slot__ are not needed,
   I never use them, and I would rather NOT have this feature available
   from Python (yes if available from C) since it is an endless cause
   of confusion.

3. Here is an example of a working metaclass with an __init__ as you
   want:

 class CMeta(type):
  def __new__(mcl, name, bases, dic):
    def __init__(self):
      for s in self.seq:
        print s
    newDict = {'__init__': __init__, 'seq' : [123]}
    return super(CMeta,mcl).__new__(mcl, name, bases, newDict)

class Test(object):
  __metaclass__= CMeta

a = Test() #=> 123


You may figure out for yourself your mistakes.
