Hi, I have read several articles and emails:
http://www.cafepy.com/article/python_types_and_objects/python_types_and_objects.html#relationships-transitivity-figure http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2007-February/600128.html I understand how type serves to be the default metaclass when an object is created and it also can be changed. I also read a few examples on why this metaclass can be a powerful concept. What I fail to understand is the circular relationship between object and type. Why does type have to be subclassed from object ? Just to make "Everything is an object and all objects are inherited from object class". Why can't just type be the class from which object class is instantiated ? Why does it have to be a subclass of object also ? Sorry if this has been answered before. Thanks in advance, mohan
