The only reason to derive from 'object' is if there is some sort of weird side effect of using new style classes. I _have_ run into some interesting scenarios when creating com objects in python using the win32com module. Other than that, I always use new style classes (derived from object). Here are some articles that point out the distinctions between old and new style classes: http://python.org/doc/newstyle/ Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
