In Python 2.x, all classes are old-style unless you directly or indirectly inherit from object. If you inherit from nothing, it is an old-style class regardless of whether you say class Name: pass or class Name(): pass In Python 3.x, there are no old-style classes. > Going forward into the 2.7/3.x world, is there a preferred style? No. -- Steven D'Aprano _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
