I don't know of any, well, except ceval.c build_class():

 result = PyObject_CallFunction(metaclass, "OOO", name, bases, methods);

I had no need for this, because I'm very happy to write base classes/types
in C, extend them by deriving subtypes from them in Python, and plugging
everything together in Python.
