This won't tell you advantages or disadvantages, but will show you that the default still is the old-style: >>> class old: ... pass ... >>> type(old()) <type 'instance'> >>> dir(old()) ['__doc__', '__module__'] >>> >>> class new(object): ... pass ... >>> type(new()) <class '__main__.new'> >>> dir(new()) ['__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__doc__', '__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__module__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__str__', '__weakref__'] In general, even if you don't understand the differences, it's better to use new-style (they're new ;-). Anyway, see http://effbot.org/pyref/new-style-and-classic-classes.htm for a little more information. -- Felipe. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
