Hello,
Please put some light on, What are new style classes and classic style
classes in python. The basic differences in them. And How can I decide
to choose one.

"Classic" (old-style) classes are ones with no ancestor classes that are
built-in types; "new-style" classes are one with ancestor classes that
are built-ins (including the built-in type 'object', which exists for
the sole purpose of making classes new-style). New-style classes have a
clearer and better organized approach to attribute access, and allow you
to use such powerful features as 'property' to full effect.
Old-style classes exist only for backwards compatibility. The only good
reason to decide to make a class old-style is when you're making an
*exception* class, specifically: up to Python 2.4, exception classes
must be old-style.

I want to try out several applications, all doing the same thing but
using different GUI libraries (Tkinter, Qt, wxWindows). Using an example
I found in a book I wrote a class containing the GUI independent methods
of the application, let's call it MyAppClass. The book is written before
Python 2.2, so it uses classic classes, but I want some properties, so I
made MyAppClass a new style class.
For the Tkinter GUI I derive another class,...

I have what looks like a bug trying to generate new style classes with
a factory function.
class Animal(object): pass
class Mammal(Animal): pass
def newAnimal(bases=(Animal,), dict={}):
class C(object): pass
C.__bases__ = bases
dict = 0

I'm generating the source of an object from a list of objects. Therefore
I need to determine if the object is a class definition (i.e. 'def
something(whatever):') or a class instance (i.e. 'somename =
somethingelse()'). With classic classes this is trivial, since all I
have to do is check the type. However, for the new "improved" style
classes this seems next to impossible, since everything is essentially
an instance of something.

If I have a new-style class what are the restrictions that keep me from
going back to a classic class? I know use of __slots__, __new__ or the
property() builtin make new-style a requirement. What other constructs
might the code be using that would prevent me from falling back to use of
classic classes?
Thx,
Skip

For Python developers around.
>From Python 2.5 doc:
The list of base classes in a class definition can now be empty. As an
example, this is now legal:
class C():
pass
nice but why this syntax return old-style class, same as "class C:",
and not the new style "class C(object):" ?

Hi!
The question of type checking/enforcing has bothered me for a while, and
since this newsgroup has a wealth of competence subscribed to it, I
figured this would be a great way of learning from the experts. I feel
there's a tradeoff between clear, easily readdable and extensible code
on one side, and safe code providing early errors and useful tracebacks
on the other. I want both! How do you guys do it? What's the pythonic
way? Are...

hi, I am puzzled about how to determine whether an object is
initilized in one class, anyone could give me any instructions?
here is an example code:

Hi all,
I'm really new to Python and I've been reading up some texts on older
versions of Python (2.2 to be specific).
The text briefly mentioned new style and classic classes.
I'd really like to know in the current context of Python 2.5, besides
in the cases of multi-inheritance, where would I use new style
classes? Is it a norm to use more new style classes even if I don't

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
