Comment(by robinson):

 Good question.  The most extensive doc/review I could find which included
 the downsides associated with moving from old-style to new-style classes
 is http://wiki.python.org/moin/NewClassVsClassicClass  That doc and some
 blog posts from Guido make me think that potential problems for TorCtl
 could be a change in MRO and pre-2.5 multiple inheritance Exception
 subclasses.  Since TorCtl.DualEventListener is the only multiple inheritor
 in the whole package, I don't think there will be much impact.
