Yeah, it looks ugly, it's hard to understand if you aren't familiar with the technique and it doesn't integrate into documentation tools like pydoc. The trick isn't part of Python's stdlib, too. I like to see a clean solution that is easy to understand and not a genius but tricky metaclass hack. Christian
