http://python.sourceforge.net/devel- docs/ref/class.html says that "Each item in the inheritance list should evaluate to a class object" -- no mention of 2.2's highlight, that a type can also be there? Is there any mention anywhere in the 2.2a2 language reference manual of 2.2's new features? Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see any -- iterators, generators, __slots__, etc, etc.

Logged In: YES user_id=31392 Is it worth keeping this bug report? We know that the documentation is incomplete. I'd say close it.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 Dealt with first part of this in Doc/ref/ref7.tex revision 1.37. Regarding the second part of this: How much of this belongs in the language reference? Is Jython following CPython regarding new-style classes, or does it differ? Marked "pending" so I can ignore the issue until someone comments on it. ;-)
