This book contributed to the design for metaclasses in Python 2.2, 2007-04-24, Rating: 5.

Too bad this is out of print; I keep referring to it as the best tutorial I know for the difficult subject of cooperative multiple inheritance, supported by Python via the super() function.

This book is a difficult read, but well worth the effort. It takes you through the motivation for metaobjects, the implementation and intricacies of the metaobject protocol, and finally some examples that prove the power of the metaobjects.
