What is a non-deprecated way to do `new.classobj(name, (base_class,), my_dict)`

Question

I found in saucelabs example.py file the following code snippet using the import new module.

import new
# .. snip ..
def on_platforms(p         


        

Answer 1

The type keyword is a class. You can perform the above using

module[name] = type(name, (base_class,), d)

This will return a class of name name with the tuple parameters of the base class base_class, initializing the member objects with the dict d.
