Yes, using metaclasses!  I wouldn't recommend it though.  Here's a
proof of concept:

class MyType(type):
    def __new__(meta, name, bases, attrs):
        try:
            metaclass = attrs.pop('__metaclass__')
        except KeyError:
            return type.__new__(meta, name, bases, attrs)
        else:
            return metaclass(name, bases, attrs)

class MyObject(metaclass=MyType):
    pass


>>> class Test(MyObject):
...     def __metaclass__(name, bases, attrs):
...         print("Test metaclass")
...         return MyType(name, bases, attrs)
...
Test metaclass
