class(object) and (type)??

Subclassing 'object' makes the class new-style as opposed to
old-style. object is the ultimate superclass of all new-style classes.
Old-style classes are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.0,
but they're currently the default for backward-compatibility reasons.
See http://docs.python.org/ref/node33.html for more info.
