Things not covered by that wiki page,

1) in Python 3.x, all classes are new-style, regardless of which syntax 
you use.

2) I believe super() is new to new-style classes.  In any case the 
documentation for it seem to assume new-style.

3) you could have answered your own question about methods in a 
particular class.  Just use 'dir'

 >>> dir(object)
['__class__', '__delattr__', '__doc__', '__format__', 
'__getattribute__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__new__', '__reduce__', 
'__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', 
'__subclasshook__']
