A while back I pointed out that there's no easy PEP 3115 compliant way to dynamically create a class (finding the right metaclass, calling prepare, etc).
I initially proposed providing this as operator.build_class, and Daniel Urban created a patch that implements that API (http://bugs.python.org/issue14588).
However, in starting to write the documentation for the new API, I realised that the operator module really isn't the right home for the functionality.
Instead, I'm now thinking we should add a _types C extension module and expose the new function as types.build_class(). I don't want to add an entire new module just for this feature, and the types module seems like an appropriate home for it.
Thoughts?
Regards, Nick.
