I've noticed that a few ASPN cookbook recipes, which are recent additions, use classic classes.
I've also noticed classic classes are used in many places in the standard library. I've been using new-style classes since Python 2.2, and am suprised people are still using the classic classes. Is there a legitimate use for classic classes that I am not aware of? Is there a project to specifically migrate standard library classes to new-style classes?
