Classes

Python 2 has two core class hierarchies, often called *classic
|
||||||
|
classes* and *new-style classes*. The latter allow for such things as
|
||||||
|
inheriting from the built-in basic types. However, confusion and
|
||||||
|
inconsistencies between the two class types has led Python 3 to drop
|
||||||
|
classic classes. Now all classes in Python 3 are *new-style*
|
||||||
|
(although that's a misnomer now). There is no need to inherit from
|
||||||
|
``object`` or set the default metatype to enable them.
