New-style and classic classes
=============================
Classes and instances come in two flavors: old-style or classic, and new-style.
Up to Python 2.1, old-style classes were the only flavour available to the user.
The concept of (old-style) class is unrelated to the concept of type: if *x* is
an instance of an old-style class, then ``x.__class__`` designates the class of
*x*, but ``type(x)`` is always ``<type 'instance'>``. This reflects the fact
that all old-style instances, independently of their class, are implemented with
a single built-in type, called ``instance``.
New-style classes were introduced in Python 2.2 to unify classes and types. A
new-style class neither more nor less than a user-defined type. If *x* is an
instance of a new-style class, then ``type(x)`` is the same as ``x.__class__``.
The major motivation for introducing new-style classes is to provide a unified
object model with a full meta-model. It also has a number of immediate
benefits, like the ability to subclass most built-in types, or the introduction
of "descriptors", which enable computed properties.
For compatibility reasons, classes are still old-style by default. New-style
classes are created by specifying another new-style class (i.e. a type) as a
parent class, or the "top-level type" :class:`object` if no other parent is
needed. The behaviour of new-style classes differs from that of old-style
classes in a number of important details in addition to what :func:`type`
returns. Some of these changes are fundamental to the new object model, like
the way special methods are invoked. Others are "fixes" that could not be
implemented before for compatibility concerns, like the method resolution order
in case of multiple inheritance.
This manual is not up-to-date with respect to new-style classes. For now,
please see http://www.python.org/doc/newstyle.html for more information.
.. index::

The plan is to eventually drop old-style classes, leaving only the semantics of
new-style classes. This change will probably only be feasible in Python 3.0.
