Well, Guido views this particular syntax as an "oopsie"[1]. It should
actually look like:
class C():
pass
Guido also suggests that the explicit:
class C(object):
pass
is "much preferred"[2] over:
__metaclass__ = type
class C:
pass
when creating new-style classes. It's not exactly clear where Guido
comes down on your particular issue, but if I had to guess, I would
guess that he prefers the explicit reference to "object".
