Having worked with python and some of it's common frameworks recently, I keep running across the concept of python meta-classes. Other object-oriented languages I've worked with don't have a similar concept (except maybe C++ templates?) I'm still studying this to get my head around it but this is great background article for anyone that wants to understand the process involved in object instantiation in python including the built in meta class "type". The call mechanics explained here are required understanding before going deeper into meta-classes.
