Class with Object as a parameter

Question

I\'m trying to translate some python code to scala code. So I\'m a total noob in Python.

But why do some classes have object as a parameter but never explicitly use

Answer 1

object is the most base type of class object defined in python. Attributes of object can be seen as below

**>>> dir(object)

['class', 'delattr', 'doc', 'format', 'getattribute', 'hash', 'init', 'new', 'reduce', 'reduce_ex', 'repr', 'setattr', 'sizeof', 'str', 'subclasshook']**

So Table(object) is just inheritance.!
