In Python 3, nothing. In Python 2, the former gets you a subclass of object whereas the latter gets you an instance of <type 'classobj'>, for compatibility with pre-2.2 versions. For most practical purposes there is no difference, so it doesn't matter until it matters, so to speak. Unless you are noticing unexpected behavior in your programs you probably don't need to worry (though you might want to use the first form to ensure better Python 3 compatibility). regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 See PyCon Talks from Atlanta 2010 http://pycon.blip.tv/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ UPCOMING EVENTS: http://holdenweb.eventbrite.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
