Aside from general concerns about increasing the size of class objects (and most programs don't contain enough of those to make a big difference) I don't immediately see anything that would prevent the interpreter being modified to add file and line number information to class objects as well. While the information wouldn't always be present (types implemented in C, types created by calling the metaclass constructor directly), it would help address the inspect module bugs Steven illustrated. I would agree with Carl that modifying __module__ in the way he suggests is legitimate - if it breaks the inspect module, then it is the inspect module that needs fixing (and/or better support from the interpreter to help find the real source code).
