In other words, the metaclass statement would have a side-effect of replacing the locals() dict with a mapping object supplied by the metaclass.

metaclass isn't a statement, it's just an attribute that is interpreted in a special way after the class namespace has been populated, by which time it's too late to do what you suggest.
