I've been reading about metaclasses recently and came across 
the following comment in an essay (by Guido?) which I thought 
deserved an airing. The sad thing is that it does make sense 
when you read it a few times...

" In core Python there is only one meta-type, the type ``type''
(types.TypeType), which is the type of all type objects, even 
itself. "

;-)

The whole essay is at:
