Write this tutorial

A Python meta class is a class used to construct instances of other classes. Python has one default meta class called type. It’s possible to write new meta classes from scratch or to derive subclasses from type.

Meta classes are used by passing a named parameter to a class definition in addition to a list of classes for inheritance.

class Foo(Bar, metaclass=type):
  pass
