The book is about a non-standard implementation of C++ featuring
metaclasses.
It it not that relevant if you are interested in metaclasses in
Python.
You can find lots of info about metaclasses in the Python Wiki. For
instance,
you can look at http://www.python.org/pycon/dc2004/p...sses-pycon.pdf
which has lots of examples.
If you insist in wanting the book, you should look for used books.
This is the
way I bought it from Amazon 5 years ago (dunno if it is still
available now, but
you never know).

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.

In today's experiment, I was wondering if I could make the comparison
operators (<,<=,>=,>) work on classes (types) according to inheritance.
The idea is, for example, classes lower in the class hierarchy would be
less than (more specialized) than classes they inherit from.
class A(object):

....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,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
