Im trying to use AOP techniques on python but, even if I understand
the idea behind metaclasses, I cant find a way to use AOP in a dynamic
way.
What im trying to do is to weave an aspect to a class at runtime, but
i don't want to include any special code or definition in the class
itself. Also, i want to do
it just for some particular classes. Is there any way to do this?
I know its possible to apply an aspect to all the classes by
redefining __metaclass__, and that I can do the same with a single
class by assigning to __metaclass__ inside the class definition.
However, I want to avoid the last step, so i can apply the aspect to
any class.
thanks!!

If one class has a __metaclass__ inside its definition, its subclasses will
use the same metaclass (unless they have another __metaclass__ in their
defintion). So you could define one class and use it as a base for the
specific classes that you want to affect.

I believe there is at least one AOP project out there somewhere.
I don't think you want to use metaclasses, though. If I wanted
to do that, I'd look at using descriptors, and installing them at
run time when I found I wanted to do the cut.
However, I'm not a big fan of AOP. I got my taste of intercepting
someone else's entry points in the '70s when I was hacking MVS.

I have a question about metaclasses:
How would be the best way to "merge" different metaclasses?
Or, more precisely, what is the best way to merge metaclass functionality?
The idea is basicly the following:
One has several (metaclass) modules that implements an interesting feature.
Lets say, I have a metaclass L, that adds logging capabilities to all method
calls and another one, called P, that creates properties on the fly.

....that they warrant an entirely new syntax? It seems that they are
very similar in a very significant way --- they alter the default
behavior of something. IMO, it's not a stretch to say that they
'parallel' metaclasses; that they are to functions/methods what
metaclasses are to classes. So why don't they share a similar syntax?
class Foo:
""" This is the docstring for class Foo. """
__metaclass__ = M

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,
