It seems that I don't have write access to trac.

This should be done in _Pyx_CreateClass() wrapper?

Yes, I'm mostly interested in metaclasses for "pure" python.
As I understand current PyClassDef implementation is mostly based on Pyrex one.
So is there a way to turn (set|get)attr into (set|get)item to write
dict instead of class object?
