[mod_python] Classic classes only

Hi all,

This might have been answered somewhere else, but... When I inherit
from an class that inherits from object (thus making a new style
class), I get the backtrace below.  However, when I use old-style
classes the problem goes away.  I was just wondering if someone could
explain why, or give me a link to a discussion?

Thanks
W
