python中class(object)什么含义？

在python2中有区别，在Python3中已经没有区别：

object为默认类，表示继承关系

class Person:
    name = "zhengtong"

class Animal(object):
    name = "chonghong"
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    x = Person()
    print（ "Person", dir(x)）
 
    y = Animal()
    print （"Animal", dir(y)）

Python3中运行结果：
person [‘class’, ‘delattr’, ‘dict’, ‘dir’, ‘doc’, ‘eq’, ‘format’, ‘ge’, ‘getattribute’, ‘gt’, ‘hash’, ‘init’, ‘init_subclass’, ‘le’, ‘lt’, ‘module’, ‘ne’, ‘new’, ‘reduce’, ‘reduce_ex’, ‘rep
