Class construction

Hi all,
I'm trying to wrap my head around how classes are constructed at the
interpreter level (as a side effect of digging into metaclasses) and
I'm hoping to have my investigation either validated or ridiculed ;)
The pipeline that I've figured through some gdb debugging (starting at
type_call):
+ type_call
+ is there a metaclass for this object?
+ return metaclass->tp_new
+ roughly 350 LOC constructing the type
+ is object is not a subclass of type?
+ return object
+ call obj->tp_init
Does that sound correct? My C/gdb skills are horribly rusty at this
point so expert insight would help :)
Thanks,
