__setattr__ not called on Metaclass

[zwadar]

Hi,
I'm using 3.4.0 and trying to use setattr on a metaclass but it doesn't seem to be called. As far as I can see this should be supported and I don't see any issues reported, so I was wondering if I might be doing something wrong?

class Test(type):
    def __new__(cls, name, bases, namespace):
        cls = super(Test, cls).__new__(cls, name, bases, namespace)
        return cls        

    def __setattr__(cls, attr, value):
        print("Called Set Attr")
        super(Test, self).__setattr__(attr, value)

class TestMeta(object, metaclass=Test):
    aaa = 10

TestMeta.aaa = 80
print(TestMeta.aaa)

but the printed output is just

80

Can I somehow overcome it? This is pretty crucial to me.

Thank you

Thanks, this one sounds like a bug so I've filed an issue: #1661

Unfortunately I can't think of a workaround for this...

Thanks, I had changed my code to use instances rather then class directly for time being.
