Re: Are all classes new-style classes in 2.4+?

I declare property members in both and it seems to work the exact same

classes are assumed to be derived from "object".

No, they are not. It's just that the "basic functionality" seems to work
the same at first glance (i.e. you don't need to learn alot of new
syntax in order to switch from old-style to new-style classes).

Play around with things like dir() and type() on old-style and new-style
classes, and you will soon see differences.

If not, can someone
point me to some place where I can learn more about new-style classes
and their advantages? All the documentation I've found is very vague.
