Yes I am realising there are variaous ways to achieve the same end. I guess I am in research mode at the moment and understanding what metaclasses can do is important even if I end up not using them. There is another thread on this question where I am trying to fill in the gaps in my understanding.

Bob

The question I'd ask at this point is - does the term 'instance of the
API' correspond to a Python class, or an instance of the class that you
define? In case you want to have one class per API, you'd have multiple
classes in which case metaclasses *may* be useful (but still not
required). In case you want to have one instance per API such that each
instance has a different set of methods, you don't need metaclasses at all.
