Correction for msg63584: the old/new style difference example should read """ class x: pass class y(x): pass try: raise y except y: print "b" except: print "a" """ As written it prints 'b', but with __metaclass__ = type, it prints 'a'. In msg63584 I got 'a' and 'b' mixed up. On python-dev, Guido responded that the result should be the same regardless of the metaclass: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-March/077713.html

Correction for msg63584: the old/new style difference example should read

"""

class y(x): 
    pass 
try:

except:

As written it prints 'b', but with __metaclass__ = type, it prints 'a'.
In msg63584 I got 'a' and 'b' mixed up.

On python-dev, Guido responded that the result should be the same
regardless of the metaclass:
