Anyone want to explain meta classes for me? Without knowing anything from the start, I would think that they are some subset of classes, maybe they inherit from some built-in classes in Python? I'm somewhat familiar with what classes are - a defined object that has certain characteristics that describe it and store information about it, as well as methods that can be used on that object. I always think of a rocketship class that might have a size, color, velocity, health, fuel, etc. and then have methods like accelerate, decelerate, rotate, shoot, etc. How do meta classes differ?
