I don't think so. The classes look much cleaner without it. +1 from for removing (object) from most examples (except for the descriptor howto).

But also, the explicit inheritance from (object) is an aid to clarity in a document that needs to highlight that attribute access occurs in two forms, object.__getattribute__ and type.__getattribute__. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17351> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
