From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

As of python >= 2.2, it is recommended that all objects inherit
from the 'object' base class. We already require python >= 2.3
for libvirt for thread macro support, so we should follow this
best practice.

This is motivated the patch Rich just did for libguestfs
