To make a long story short: Python 2.2 introduced a new object model which is more coherent and more powerful than the original one. The old one was kept so far for compatibility reasons, but there's absolutely no reason to use it no more since "new-style" classes can do anything "Classic" classes did and much more. IOW, don't even bother with old-style classes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
