"advanced" and "tutorial" are sort of opposites, aren't they?

There's plenty of metaclass materials, e.g. my slides on "Python
Metaclasses" from Europython are downloadable as PDF from a link at:

Alex's slides are more "advanced"; if you want something more "tutorial"
see

http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork.../l-pymeta.html
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerwork...ary/l-pymeta2/

Finally, there are Guido's essays

http://www.python.org/2.2.2/descrintro.html
http://www.python.org/doc/essays/metaclasses/

which I would read after the other references given here.

You've been given some Python specific material.

Other sources on metaclasses in general can be found at the
portal for all thinks OO at

http://www.cetus-links.org/

Also in the excellent OO FAQ, look under Basics at
sections 1.4 and 1.6.

http://www.objectfaq.com/

Also most Smalltalk tutors have a section on metaclasses
and their use - a very common technique in Smalltalk...

And finally there is the hard to find but excellent Metaclass
book by Forman & Danforth.
