Python有什么奇技淫巧？

"""
Two magic tricks for classes:
    class X:
        __metaclass__ = extendabletype
        ...
    # in some other file...
    class __extend__(X):
        ...      # and here you can add new methods and class attributes to X
Mostly useful together with the second trick, which lets you build
methods whose 'self' is a pair of objects instead of just one:
    class __extend__(pairtype(X, Y)):
        attribute = 42
        def method((x, y), other, arguments):
            ...
    pair(x, y).attribute
    pair(x, y).method(other, arguments)
This finds methods and class attributes based on the actual
class of both objects that go into the pair(), with the usual
rules of method/attribute overriding in (pairs of) subclasses.
For more information, see test_pairtype.
