It's much easier, though, just to put

__metaclass__ = type

at the start of any module where you want exlusively new-style objects. 
And I do agree that you should use exclusively new-style objects without 
a good reason for not doing, though thanks to Guido's hard work it 
mostly doesn't matter.

$ cat test94.py
__metaclass__ = type

class Rhubarb:
     pass

rhubarb = Rhubarb()

print type(Rhubarb)
print type(rhubarb)


$ python test94.py
<type 'type'>
<class '__main__.Rhubarb'>
