Nope.  Python 3.0 will have new-style classes as the default, but there
will probably not be any way to use old-style classes.  As has been said
before, if you want to make new-style classes the default for any module,
just put

__metaclass__ = type

at the top.

Please, just drop this subject.  Guido has long since Pronounced.
