RE: [Python-Dev] Requesting that a class be a new-style class

...

...

This is something I've typed way too many times:

Py> class C(): File "<stdin>", line 1 class C(): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax

It's the asymmetry with functions that gets to me - defining a function with no arguments still requires parentheses in the definition statement, but defining a class with no bases requires the parentheses to be omitted.

It's fine to fix this in 2.5.

Yea! Raymond
