Metaclasses and new-style classes

Hi!

I've just posted a question about metaclasses in ZOPE on the ZOPE
list, and one of the replies said that metaclasses (at least
"painless" metaclasses) cannot be used without new-style classes (or
rather, that they don't work where you cannot explicitly use new-style
classes). I haven't so far been able to find _anything_ on the subject
- what is true here?

TIA,
Ole

Hello, I've been experimenting with metaclasses a bit (even though I am quite a newbie to python) and stumpled over the following problem in my code: class Meta(type): def __init__(cls, name, bases, dct): for attr, value in dct.items(): if callable(value): dct = wrapper(value)

Hi I would like to extend python so that you could create hiercical tree structures (XML, HTML etc) easier and that resulting code would be more readable. The syntax i would like is something like the below: # Example creating html tree '*!*' is an operator that creates an new node '*=*' is an operator that sets an attribute.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
