That's not correct, as I understand it.  In Python 3.0 (or whenever), the above code will create a new-style class, and will
be functionally equivalent to the same definition subclassed from object.  It's only during the transitional period that
subclassing from object is required for new-style classes, and the only reason for that requirement is so that the parser can
differentiate new-style classes from old-style.
