Subclassing 'object' makes the class new-style as opposed to
old-style. object is the ultimate superclass of all new-style classes.
Old-style classes are deprecated and will be removed in Python 3.0,
but they're currently the default for backward-compatibility reasons.
See http://docs.python.org/ref/node33.html for more info.

Hi again pythoners,
I notice in the class of a code having (object) and (type) attached to
the name of the class.
I know that in other cases, that means the class inherits methods and
properties from other but
In this case, what does it mean?
For example,
class PY(object):
def __init__(self):
...
class PO(type):
def __init__(self):
...
What do "object" and "type" mean?
Thanks in advance

The very same thing. Why should it have a different meaning ?
For the record :
- 'object' is the base class for 'new-style' classes - that is, the
'new' (hem) object model that came with Python 2.2 (released december
2001 - so it's not that 'new'). The old one - known as 'classic classes'
has been kept so far for backward compat only, and will finally
disappear with Python 3.x.
- 'type' is the base metaclass. Python's classes being objects, they
have to be instances of a class - known as the metaclass. To avoid
metametaclasses , metametametacla sses etc ad infinitum, 'type' is an
instance of itself. And FWIW, a subclass of 'object', which is itself an
instance of 'type' (usually, brains start melting here...)
You'll find more informations (and hopefully clearer explanations) here: http://www.python.org/doc/newstyle/
and of course in the FineManual(tm): http://docs.python.org/ref/datamodel.html

Hi,
I have always been taught to use an inialization list for initialising data
members of a class. I realize that initialsizing primitives and pointers use
an inialization list is exactly the same as an assignment, but for class
types it has a different effect - it calls the copy constructor.
My question is when to not use an initalisation list for initialising data
members of a class?

Hi,
I am designing an application where to preserve the hierachy and for
code substitability, I need to pass an array of derived class object in
place of an array of base class object. Since I am using vector
class(STL), the compiler does not allow me to do this.
I do realize there is a pitfall in this approach(size of arrays not
matching etc), but I wonder how to get around this problem. I have a

According to OOPs , a base class pointer can to point to derived class

But somehow I am not comfortable while understanding this concept.
The explanaition to the fact1 is given as since the derived object
always consists of the base part , the base class pointer will always
point to the base part in the derived object unless otherwise the

--------- quotation ---------
The default method of initialization using special member functions is
to perform a bit-for-bit copy from the initializer into the object to
be initialized. This technique is applicable only to:
1. Objects of built-in types.
2. Pointers.
3. References.
4. Objects of class type, where the class has no private or protected
members, no virtual functions, and no base classes.

I am creating a class (not a control) which implements IStateManager. I've
created the class and all of the implementations (LoadView, SaveViewState,
etc...). My Question is: How do I instantiate this class in a page and
then re-instantiate it on post back such that I don't lose it's viewstate?
If the page always uses x = new myclass to instantiate, the myclass
constructor is always going to reinitialize its statebag.

Hello!!
You may correct me if I have made any wrong assumptions.
Below I have some simple classes.
When you have this t.ToString() below it's the ToString() method in Object
class that is called
and when you have this t.GetType() below it's the GetType() method in the
Object class that is called.

Hi,
I have a bunch of object derived from the same base class. They all share
the same constructor with some parameters. Now, instead of using a large
switch() statement where I call every single Object by itself, I'd like to
assign a reference to the class type and call it later without knowing the
derived type.
