You rarely need a custom metaclass to generate classes. A class factory def makeclass(classname, *attributes): cls = type(classname, mybases, mydic) for name, value in attributes: setattr(cls, name, attr) return cls is the typical solution for your use case. OTOH, if you are looking for use classes for metaclasses, look at the Python Wiki and use Google. Michele Simionato -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
