I need to dynamically generate new types at run time. I can do this in two ways. I can use the "type" constructor, or I can generate a "class" statement as a string and feed that to the exec function. The former technique is much cleaner all else being equal, but I want to be able to specify the __slots__ class variable for these new types, and it seems that to do that I need to use the latter method. Is that true? Is it really impossible to specify __slots__ using the "type" constructor?
