No, you just ignored the point.

Java’s ”Class” object is a pretty pitiful, awkward and crippled attempt at
run-time manipulation of classes. Still falls far short of Python’s full
treatment of classes as first-class objects.

That also extends to the fact that Python classes, being objects, must be
instances of classes themselves. The class that a class is an instance of
is called its “metaclass”.
