Yes, new-style classes don't work in older Python installations. Some Python users prefer not to be on such a frequent upgrade treadmill, so they continue to use old versions. Therefore, anyone writing Python code for wide distribution should avoid using new-style classes (and other new Python features) unless they have a good reason. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
