I just noticed r53997 (from some unit tests it broke), which disallowed things
like this:
class X(object):
def __repr__(self):
return "blah"
class Y(X, type):
pass
class Z:
__metaclass__ = Y
Making X classic eliminates the TypeError, and is probably an acceptable fix
in a lot of cases (at least as long as classic classes are available). I
wonder if the ability to override type special methods like this was considered
when the change was made, though?
