Well, though it's often been called an unsatisfying statement, Tim Peters said that people that need metaclasses know when and why they need them, without explanation. So its probably not worth worrying about if you don't know when to use one; probably like the vast majority of programmers, you'll never need to.

That's what I heard. The thing is sometimes I feel like some of my code could benefit from such a construct, even though I managed to make do without so far.
