Title: Classes should inherit from object.

I'm assuming you guys are not going to support Python<=2.5. These versions are ancient.
Classes in Python>=2.6 need to inherit from object in order to use the new inheritance algorithm which is much more efficient. When Python 2.x support will be dropped you can revert to the previous style sine Python 3.x classes inherit from object automatically although inheriting from object explicitly is still valid.
