Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

"Python class" can be read as a user type defined in Python (usually with the "class" statement). The term "class" in the glossary is used with this meaning in contrary to the term "type" which means also builtin and extension types. In Python 3 "object" is a base class of all types, not only user-defined class.
