I am having the following piece of code. class CustomMetaClass(type): def __call__(self, *args, **kwargs): print("Custom call method is invoked from custom meta class.") class Sample(metaclass=CustomMetaClass): def method(self): print("Printing from a method") I have a custom meta-class and a normal class (Sample). 'Sample' is associated with my custom meta-class. Since every thing is an object in Python, whenever the interpretter comes across a class definition, an instance of 'type' is created for the user defined class. This is done via by calling the __call__() of the meta class. In the above case, Sample class is associated with my custom metaclass and hence the print statement should have been executed; But it not run actually. But when I create instance of Sample ( Sample() ), the print method invoked. As for as I know (from a different stackoverflow question), the same __call__() method in the meta class is used to create instance for the user class (while defining the class) as well of the user defined class (i.e: Sample() ) Can someone please help where I am wrong here?
