IIUC, in py3k, classic classes do not exist any longer, so the metaclass line has no effect anyway. Is this behaviour intended?
It is another incarnation of special methods being looked up on the class, not the instance. This was always the behavior with new-style classes, see the thread at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-March/006261.html
for a previous discussion.
I think we should tackle this issue now and make sure the decided resolution is consistently applied throughout Python.
