In Python 2: always inherit from object explicitly. Get the perks.
In Python 3: inherit from object if you are writing code that tries to be Python agnostic, that is, it needs to work both in Python 2 and in Python 3. Otherwise don't, it really makes no difference.
The following snippet fails due to email package's LazyImport mechanism, only in Python2, no LazyImport in Python3 in email package:
>>> import email
>>> import sys
>>> for name, module in sys.modules.iteritems():
... try:
... print name, module.__file__

最近感觉到身体上的不健康 真的需要好好调整作息 这次非常幸运地 凌晨三点半就感觉到困了 之前真的是可以通个宵毫不吃力 再呼呼大睡到傍晚的 因为睡得早 十一点半就醒得差不多了 再补补觉 十二点半就起来了
最近好像对python是没什么热情 对着书看了生成器和装饰器 盯着
