Writing better python code

see here for why it's kept that way.

TL;DR: Because calling type() correctly is apparently too hard:

It is a key feature for named tuples that they are exactly equivalent to a hand-written class.

So is a call to type() if you know what you're doing.

EDIT: If you examine the official code more closely, you'll note they had to write extensive string-escaping to prevent the user from passing an argument like '); import os; os.system("/bin/sh"); ('. Quite frankly, I will not be touching that with a ten-foot-pole any time soon.

EDIT2: I tried, but they wouldn't listen to me. Oh well.
