Developer. NOT User.

Consider:

$ python
Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Oct 13 2008, 15:09:03)
[GCC 4.2.4 (CRUX)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> class Foo(object): pass
...
>>> class Spam(Foo): pass
...
>>> Spam.__class__.__bases__
(<type 'object'>,)
>>> Spam.__class__
<type 'type'>
>>> Spam.__bases__
(<class '__main__.Foo'>,)
>>> spam = Spam()
>>> spam.__class__
<class '__main__.Spam'>
>>> spam.__class__.__bases__
(<class '__main__.Foo'>,)
>>>

cheers
James
