Suppose I want to create a type (i.e. a new-style class via the usual `class blah(...)` mechanism) but, during the process of creating the type, I want to replace its __dict__ so I can override some behaviors during the initial assignment of its members. That is, I have `class blah(...): a = 123; b = 456; ...`, and I want to substitute my own dict subclass which will thus receive __setitem__(a, 123), __setitem__(b, 456), and so on.
Is this possible? Maybe with metaclasses? I've experimented with them a bit, but I haven't found any setup that works. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
