I was thinking about this last spring, when I tried to cram all sorts of python metaprogramming into one 3hr class... Trying to come up with a an exam[ple for metclasses, I couldn't come up with anything that couldn't be done more claerly (to me) with a class decorator.
The Enum data type requires metaclasses. Any time you want to modify the behavior of a class (not its instances, the class itself) you need a metaclass.
