I dont know what object may do in his __init__ method, so at least calling
object.__init__(self) seems sensible.  Also, the same page advises against
not calling object.__init__.  On the other side, today I have seen in
another thread ( New Style  Classes ) that wesley chun not pointed as
erroneous some new class code that doenst call object.__init__.  Im
confused.
