It's only a couple hundred lines, but in it lies everything to create components and extend them with interfaces in a very loosely-coupled way. Simply beautiful, and one of the best uses of metaclasses that I have seen. One of my favorite pieces of code is the Trac core.

And string.Template was the first use of metaclasses where I realized metaclasses can be useful for "normal" stuff and not overly complicated.

A very tiny core with just the right hooks for plugins.
