You've misunderstood Michele's example code. __add__ in the metaclass lets you add two *record classes* together, not two records. Your proposal didn't support this behavior, nor *any other use case* for actually having a metaclass (as opposed to class decoration). You might find this metaclass tutorial enlightening, especially the section I've linked to: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-pymeta2/#h4 Understanding this will show you why your original proposal is completely broken for non-decorator use cases. _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
