It's the same as:

class DoubleMetaClass(PropMetaclass, SomeOtherMetaclass):
    pass

type() takes either 1 argument, in which case it returns the type of the
parameter, or 3 arguments, in which case it acts as a metaclass (Woo!) and
returns a new type-object with the specified name, bases, and attributes.
