  • Metaclasses in Python 1.5

    ...addition to the check ``is the type of the base class callable,'' there's a check ``does the base class have a __class__ attribute.'' If so, it is assumed that the __class__ attribute refers to a class. Let's repeat our simple example from above: class C(B): a = 1 b = 2 Assuming B has a __class__ attribute, this translates into: C = B.__class__('C', (B,), {'a': 1, 'b': 2}) This is exactly the same as before except that instead of type(B), B.__class__ is invo...

There was some, but there seemed to be more criticism. Perhaps the negative simply has more impact than the positive. It's human nature to criticize, and I believe the criticism is due to a vocal minority, not the majority. I decided that rather than immediately entering into a debate (which may be counter-productive) ...
