This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. six.with_metaclass(Meta, *bases) substitutes the dummy temporary class with the bases passed as arguments to the function call
  2. Passing base classes in the class header alongside with_metaclass(Meta) silently drops them from __bases__ and __mro__ without raising an error
  3. six.with_metaclass properly executes Meta.__prepare__(name, bases) prior to class body creation
  4. Methods using zero-argument super() work correctly with six.with_metaclass
  5. six.add_metaclass bypasses Meta.__prepare__ and breaks Python 3 zero-argument super() due to stale __class__ closure cell binding
