If you don't mind explaining, I'd like to understand why this design was 
chosen.  Why does it create a new class instead of creating an instance 
of a class?  It seems like it's using advanced Python (class generation) 
where ordinary Python (a class instance) will do just as well.

If I'm not missing something important, I may try to rewrite that code.
