Bugfixes break code that depends on buggy behavior. See
https://bugs.python.org/issue1683368
Your code also fails in 2.7.9 if you inherit Foo from object.
The exact error messages changed for 3.4 in
https://bugs.python.org/issue7963

Builtins sections of the changelog one can access from What's New, first 
paragraph (using Highlight All in Firefox).
