 I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about the diff
 between old-style and new-style classes, or the diff between classes and
 metaclasses ?

 new classes inherit from object.  Classic classes do not.

 I hope that this helps.
 
 
 Colin,
 
 I don't personaly need much help with this !-) In fact, your answer is 
 almost the same as the one I was going to post - before I re-read the 
 OP's question. And I'm still not sure that what the OP is looking for.
 
 
Bruno,

Sorry, my reponse should have been addressed to venk.

new classes inherit from object.  Classic classes do not.
new classes have a __new__ method.  Classic classes generally do not.
The type of a new class is types.TypeType
The type of a classic class is a classobj
The type of an instance of a new class is the name of the class
The type of an instnce of a classic class is an instance

This is shown below:
  class A(object):
...   def __init__(self):
... pass
...
  a= A()
  class B:
...   def __init__(self):
... pass
...
  b= B()
  type(A)
type 'type'
  type(a)
class '__main__.A'
  type(B)
type 'classobj'
  type(b)
type 'instance'
 

I hope that this helps.

Colin W.
