Yes, it's the norm to use new-style classes. This makes one's classes part of the Python type hierarchy, allowing features such as 'super', 'property', etc. to work correctly. Use new-style classes for any new code you create. Old-style classes are deprecated in Python 2.5 (even earlier than that I believe), and will be removed in Python 3.0 <URL:http://wiki.python.org/moin/Python3.0>. -- \ “Good judgement comes from experience.
