source code

This function constitutes the core of the class generation process. For instance, we declare DaeFormat to have metaclass MetaFileFormat, so upon creation of the DaeFormat class, the __init__ function is called, with

Parameters:

cls - The class created using MetaFileFormat, for example DaeFormat.
name - The name of the class, for example 'DaeFormat'.
bases - The base classes, usually (object,).
dct - A dictionary of class attributes, such as 'xsdFileName'.

Returns: the object's type

Overrides: object.__init__
