Saving keystrokes has only rarely influenced Python's design, thankfully. If you read "import this", you'll see "explicit is better than implicit", and interpreting in this case one would have to say that so long as both old and new-style classes exist, making "class():" equivalent to "class(object):" would be doing something very implicit, and potentially very confusing. Leaving things just as they are would be a better choice. -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
