If you use Python3 there is no difference other than the name of the class. That means class Test will automatically inherit objects.

In Python2 you can use for instance __slots__ to restrict class variable creation outside the 'new type' class Test2

So practically there are interchangeable, right?

If you use Python3
class Test2(object):
can simply be written
class Test2:
since Python3 will add the object inheritance internally anyway.
