[issue1294232] Error in metaclass search order

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

I would make the same guess about 'winner calculation'. I am surprised that the class statement does not result in the same calculation (why else would type_new do it). Perhaps __build_class__ (which I have not read) should either call type_new or a new function with the winner calculation factored out of type_new.

I suggest you repost your simplified example from the list here and use it as the basis of a test. Guido agreed that it shows a bug that might be backported to 3.2 (after discussion). If not also backported to 2.7, a separate 2.7 doc patch might be needed.
