That syntax (new style class with no base classes) was introduced in
Python 2.5. I doubt that it's actually necessary; it could probably be
changed to either an old-style class:
class Controller:
or a new-style class derived from "object":
class Controller(object):
I think that we should still try to support 2.4, although the only way
that accidental use of 2.5/2.6 features will be found is through
running the code for real. Using new syntax features will cause
--html-description to fail (as happened here), but using new
functions, modules, classes, methods, etc won't.
