Metaclass uses?

[Nathan Harmston]

Hi,

Recently I posted a question about the factory pattern in python. I ve
implemented this following one of the ideas posted. After some reading
I ve seem a lot of Aspect Oriented Programming mentioned but I m not
really sure what it is.

Can anyone help me understand how metaclasses can improve the quality
of my code and let me do better things.

Also is there anymore interesting OO stuff that Python has apart from Java.

Many Thanks

Nathan
