I mean a system by which one creates and manages Python objects. For instance, Python ships with an object system as documented here:
https://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/classes.html

However, some developers have found the need to add features to the standard Python object system (e.g. delegation, typing, etc), thus offering a new object system.

So far, the following object systems have been found:

* elk https://github.com/frasertweedale/elk
* Traits http://code.enthought.com/projects/traits/
* yuppy https://github.com/kuujo/yuppy
