Your knowledge of English has failed you. Here is the first definition

Class \Class\ (kl[.a]s), n. [F. classe, fr. L. classis class,
collection, fleet; akin to Gr. klh^sis a calling, kalei^n to
call, E. claim, haul.]
1. A group of individuals ranked together as possessing
common characteristics; as, the different classes of
society; the educated class; the lower classes.
[1913 Webster]
Clearly Python should use a keyword like "Kingdom" or "Phylum"
instead. I guess "Kingdom" should be reserved for metaclasses (or
would they be metaphylums? or metaphyla?)
kingdom Baz:
pass
phylum Foo:
__metaphylum__ = Baz
That is SO much clearer ;-)
