Is it necessary or useful to inherit from Python's object in Python 3.x?

Question

In older Python versions when you create a class, it can inherit from object which is as far I understand a special built-in Python element that allows your class to be a new-style class.

What about newer versions (> 3.0 and 2.6)? I googled about the object class but I get so many results (for obvious reasons).

Answer 1

You don't need to inherit from object to have new style in python 3. All classes are new-style.
