Can there be a metaclass in python which can change the behaviour of object at creation stage by extending it and nullifying friend functions?
(I must confess this is the only sentence in the email that I could comprehend...)
If what you are looking for is a way to customize object creation, have a look at the __new__ class method. It is called before __init__, and can return _any_ object when the client code attempts to instantiate the class.
In some cases I have dynamically generated a subclass of the class using type(), and returned a new instance of that. I think this is the kind of thing you are looking for.
