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...
