The following module allows you to create custom
structseq objects from python.

It requires a patch to structseq.c in order to correctly
allocate the type object on the heap.

I wasn't sure about the best way to allocate a type
object on the heap, so this is my best effort. I'm going
to follow up with a posting to python-dev to see what
others think.

This file will probably need to be updated to conform to
python style standards.

Feel free to include this in the standard Python
distribution. I am willing to handle future updates/fixes
for it.

This is related to bug 624827 filed by Fred L. Drake to
add similar functionality.

New patch that does away with the factory object and just
produces type objects via a builtin function.

I believe this is obsolete now we have namedtuple?

[rhettinger]

I agree with Georg.
