Python class inherits object

Is there any reason for a class declaration to inherit from an object? I just found some code that does this and I can't find a good reason why. class MyClass(object): # class code follows... Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

Yes, there is a reason for a class declaration to inherit from an object :- The class style in Python 3.x: class MyClass(object): = new-style class class MyClass: = OLD-STYLE CLASS Explanation: At the time of the base class definition in Python 3.x, you’re allowed to drop the object from the definition. However, this can open the door for a seriously hard to track problem. New-style classes are introduced in Python, and by now old-style classes are really quite old. Discussion of old-style classes are buried in the 2.x docs, and they do not exist in Python 3.x.
