[Python-3000] Error in PEP 3115?

[Georg Brandl]

In PEP 3115 (the new metaclasses PEP), there is an example metaclass:

      # The metaclass
      class OrderedClass(type):

          # The prepare function
          @classmethod
          def __prepare__(metacls, name, bases): # No keywords in this case
             return member_table()

          # The metaclass invocation
          def __init__(self, name, bases, classdict):
             # Note that we replace the classdict with a regular
             # dict before passing it to the superclass, so that we
             # don't continue to record member names after the class
             # has been created.
             result = type(name, bases, dict(classdict))
             result.member_names = classdict.member_names
             return result

Shouldn't __init__ be __new__? Also, if type(...) and not
type.__new__(self, ...) is called, the type of a class using this
metaclass will be type, not OrderedClass, but this may be intended.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
