In the release of Python you use, the default metaclass for
your classes is still such as to force a difference, yes.

Just use one of the many ways to make your classes new-style
(e.g., a global variable __metaclass__=type will do) if you
are bothered by this distinction (gradually going away, but
with care for backwards compatibility, of course).
