Is it necessary or useful to inherit from python's object in Python 3.x?

Question

In older python version when you create a class in python, it can inherit from object which is as far I understand a special built-in python element that allow your object to be a new-style object.

What about newer version (> 3.0 and 2.6)? I googled about the class object but I get so much result (for an obvious reasons). Any hint?

Thank!

Answer 1

You don't need to inherit from object to have new style in python 3. All classes are new-style.
