"object" is the name of the base class defining common methods used by all new classes. In Python 2, you should always subclass object, unless you are subclassing something else. In Python 3, subclassing object is automatic, whether you write it or not. In Python 2, if you fail to subclass object, you get an "old-style class", and features like property, classmethod, staticmethod, super and multiple inheritance may not work at all, or be buggy. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
