Hi Paul,

Do you mean subclassing the HasTraits metaclass to create a new derivative metaclass, or just subclassing an instance of HasTraits?

For the former, you can look at HasPrivateTraits and HasStrictTraits classes as a pointer.  In the latter case, if you just want to add a "units" trait at the top of your object hierarchy, can't you use normal Python inheritance?

Sorry for the lagged response,
HTH,
Peter
