Challenge: Section Review - Metaclasses Fundamentals
Throughout this section, you explored how Python’s object model underpins the way classes and objects interact. You learned that in Python, everything is an object—including classes themselves, which are instances of metaclasses. The process of class creation involves the interpreter invoking a metaclass, typically type by default, to construct new class objects. This mechanism enables deep customization of class behavior, as you can define your own metaclasses to control or modify class creation, attribute assignment, and more.
By understanding the relationships between objects, classes, and metaclasses, you are equipped to inspect and manipulate class structures at a fundamental level. Custom metaclasses allow you to inject logic into the class creation process, making it possible to enforce patterns, register plugins, or alter class attributes automatically.
To consolidate your understanding of these foundational ideas, try the following challenge.
Swipe to start coding
Write a function named analyze_class that takes a class object cls as its only parameter. Your function must:
- Find the metaclass of
clsand assign it tometaclass. - Print the metaclass using the
reprfunction. - Print a list of all attribute names defined directly on
cls. - Check if a custom metaclass (not the default
type) was used to createclsand print the result as a boolean.
You can use the type function to get the metaclass, and vars(cls) to get the class's attribute names. Compare the metaclass to type to check if it is custom.
