PJ,
it maybe just me, but what does this code do that can't be done at the
metaclass' __new__ method?

You might have to rewrite some method-decorators, so that they just
mark a method at class body execution time, and then, whatever the
decorator used to do at this time, would be done at meta's __new__ - I
have this working in some code (and in Python 2 already).
