Don't be afraid !-) While it's true that they can be a bit confusing at 
first, metaclasses are just classes - whose instances happens to be 
classes themselves.

And while you're certainly right to not jump on metaclasses *before* 
hanving spent a bit time thinking of other possible solutions, there's 
nothing wrong with using metaclasses when that's really what you need...
