PEP 3115 says a metaclass' prepare takes two positional arguments, name and bases. But the example has it actually accept an arbitrary number of arguments: name and then everything else is bound to bases.

Which happens to be true?

I've played with it a bit and as I see it only takes name and bases. Maybe there is something secret ;p about using *args in prepare that I dont know yet.

I'm too tired to even fully trust that I am reading the PEP correctly, so I am not about to try to write an example to see which is correct and come up with a coherent rewording if I am right about what is wrong. =)
