Is there a way to ask a class what its metaclasses are ?

Thanks Chris.
When I try the following (to see the types of the classes involved):

#!/usr/bin/env python

import wx
from Debug import _line as line

class CopyAndPaste(object):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(CopyAndPaste, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print line()+". type(wx.Frame):",type(wx.Frame)
        print line()+". type(object):",type(object)

I get:

$ python -u CopyAndPaste.py
9. type(wx.Frame): <type 'type'>
10. type(object): <type 'type'>

And I don't understand what it means...
In any case, it does not seem to help me resolve the metaclasses exception.

Bye,
Ron.
