I can't give much answers, I am not that expert yet.

In the past I have done few tests, and it seemed that new style classes

It's possible with sys._getframe() and a decorator - but consider it a
hack.

Okay, while I'd still like to know the answer(s) to my earlier
question(s), I've mostly solved my problem thanks to bearophile and my
own learning. An example:
class Cat(object):
def __init__(self):
self.love = 0
def meow(self):
print "meow"
class Dog(object):
def bark(
This looks excellent bearophile, but I'm having trouble understanding
some things. Perhaps you can help wipe clean my ignorance. Firstly, I
thought __classes__ was a read-only attribute? Secondly, what is a
"dictproxy object" and why won't the following code work:
class Cat:
def meow(self):
I think it's possible, most of such kind of things are possible with
Python.
I'm not an expert yet in such kind of things, so this can be a starting
point for you (note the shadowing of m2, the class docstrings, etc).
Other people can give you something better or more correct.
class A:
def m1(
Hi all. If I have an instance of class A, called say foo, and I need to
mix-in the functions and variables of another class (class B) to this
instance at runtime, how do I do it? In other words, I want to make foo
an instance of an anonymous and temporary class that inherits its
functionality from
