Your example works because random is a module: py> from types import ModuleType py> import random py> type(random) is ModuleType True Since random is an instance of ModuleType, your class M is a subclass of ModuleType, and assigning to random.__class__ is allowed. I'm closing this issue, but if can demonstrate an actual problem, please feel free to re-open it.
