Now that I understand a lot better, I am implementing a class that inherits from type. So now I would like to create the instance by writing:
m = MyType(myClass.__name__, (), myClass.__dict__) The problem is the fields in __dict__ are in arbitrary order, is there a way to get them in the order they appear in file?
