New submission from Phil Elson: The example at http://docs.python.org/3.4/howto/descriptor.html#properties does not run due to the old style "raise AttributeError, message" form.
This patch fixes the problem, and also goes through the docs to remove explicit sub-classing from "object". The only remaining instances of this now are: $> grep -r -E "class .*\(object\)\:" Doc/* Doc/howto/pyporting.rst: class UnicodeMixin(object): Doc/reference/compound_stmts.rst: class Foo(object): Doc/tools/sphinxext/pyspecific.py:class PyDecoratorMixin(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.6.rst: class C(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.2.rst: class C(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.2.rst: class C(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.2.rst: class C(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.2.rst: class C(object): Doc/whatsnew/2.2.rst: >>> class C(object): Which are all (minus tools/sphinxext/pyspecific) referring to python2 in some context. I'm not bound to fixing the explicit object subclassing, so if it is better off not being here, that's fine.
