Is there any further thoughts on including this in 3.6?
I don't have any plans and I don't know of anyone willing to champion the PEP for 3.6. Note that the implementation itself shouldn't take very long.
Similar to the recent discussion on OrderedDict namespaces for metaclasses, this would simplify / enable a number of type factory use cases where proper metaclasses are overkill. This feature would also be quite nice in say pandas where the (currently unspecified) field order used in the definition of frames is preserved in user-visible displays.
Good point. One weakness of the PEP has been sufficient justification. The greater number of compelling use cases, the better. So thanks! :)
