Yes, I read. Have you read and understood my message ? :)

A class B, subclass of class A, with a metaclass M_A should have M_A or
a subclass of it as metaclass. If you try with anything else, you get a
TypeError exception as expected. OK. But if you try with 'type', nothing
happens. 

Python 2.4.1 (#1, Sep 16 2005, 17:47:47) 
[GCC 3.3.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class M_A(type): pass
... 
>>> class A: __metaclass__ = M_A
... 
>>> class B(A): __metaclass__ = type
... 
>>> B.__class__
<class '__main__.M_A'>
>>> B.__metaclass__
<type 'type'>
