def NewWidget(widget_name, **dict):

    class DynamicallyGenerated(FixedParentClass, widget_classes[widget_name]):
       ...

A function returning a dynamically generated class is quite similar to a
C++ template.  It's probably a good idea to memoize such dynamically 
generated classes - creating a new class for each widget is rather
expensive.
