The changes are described in minute detail in a series of PEPs (Python Enhancement Proposals). PEPs are not designed to be tutorials, and the PEPs describing the type/class unification are sometimes hard to read. They also aren't finished yet. That's where this paper comes in: it introduces the key elements...
