You rarely need a custom metaclass to generate classes. A class factory

def makeclass(classname, *attributes):
   cls = type(classname, mybases, mydic)
   for name, value in attributes:
      setattr(cls, name, attr)
   return cls

is the typical solution for your use case.

OTOH, if you are looking for use classes for metaclasses, look at the
Python Wiki
and use Google.
