Actually - can we make new-style classes the default, but allow a way to switch to old-style classes if needed? Perhaps a command-line argument to set the default back to old-style?

Nope. Python 3.0 will have new-style classes as the default, but there will probably not be any way to use old-style classes. As has been said before, if you want to make new-style classes the default for any module, just put

metaclass = type

at the top.

Please, just drop this subject. Guido has long since Pronounced.
