I wanted subclasses of my classtypeobject to have the same properties as new-style classes, so it just made sense to me to do that. Python's documentation is... less than complete... so I'm sure I'm missing something.

Sure. Unfortunately, PEP253 still talks of PyType_InitDict instead of PyType_Ready, but we're beyond that already;-)
