PyGTK uses new style classes heavily.

New style classes were introduced in Python 2.2 basically to solve the
problem about sub classing of Classes in Python/C.
Before you had to use ExtensionClasses to do the same thing.

I'm afraid it would be impossible to backport, even to Python 2.1.
But most modern distributions ship Python 2.2 nowadays, it was after all
released in December 2001.

For more information about the new style classes, check the following
