What page is that? This thread has both points of view: http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Python/comp.lang.python/2004-12/4599.html I think if you are using super() then your classes that inherit from object still need to call super().__init__(). If you are not using super I don't think it matters. Kent _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
