Hi Nav:

        Here is the long why.
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.2.3/descrintro/
        I guess for most programs, there is no big difference, but if
you use some special features that might be different. Say, could use
super when using type() instead of class(), also, when using multiple
inheritance, you can't multiply inherit from different built-in types.
Some new features such as property() is not supported in type either.
       

BRs
William
