Heh, I came across the namedtuple exec thing the other day when I was trying to get the collections module working :\

namedtuple will have to be implemented differently. I think it can be accomplished by defining the class with type()? Maybe with a metaclass...

I've done it using more or less that method. The code is in the "coll" sub-package of my plib.stdlib project; the Python 2 version is here on bitbucket:

You won't get exact compatibility, but a metaclass implementation would give almost all the features. I can't remember what exactly you give up, but I did that once and I lost some introspection friendliness.

Nevermind, all you need is type(). Metaclass unnecessary.
