title: Is it necessary or useful to inherit from Python's object in Python 3.x?
body: <p>In older Python versions when you create a class, it can inherit from <code>object</code> which is as far I understand a special built-in Python element that allows your class to be a new-style class.</p>
  <p>What about newer versions (&gt; 3.0 and 2.6)? I googled about the <code>object</code> class but I get so many results (for obvious reasons).</p>
