Here's a simple implementation using slots:

That's pretty cool! Two suggestions:

  1. rename the _items method to iter, so that you have easy casting to tuple and lists;

  2. put a check in the metaclass such as assert '__init__' not in bodydict to make clear to the users that they cannot override the init method, that's the metaclass job.

Great hack!
