Hi all, I dare risk my brain exploding by reaching for the understanding of metaclasses.
At first i thought i almost got them, even if vaguely back in a corner of my mind, my understanding was that, as classes' class a metaclass would be able to return a different class based on input... ... until i thought of factory functions and, Python considering classes just another first-class object, as such i started considering them. So is anybody experienced in the dark side semantics of Python willing to explain the difference, in simple terms, between a metaclass and a function that returns a class?
