    Python 3 completed the unification of types and classes (which started way back with Python 2.2). Your book attempts to explain a difference that isn't really there anymore. Commented Mar 12, 2016 at 14:38

    Basically a type is class that inherits from object. In Python3, all classes inherit from object, so they are the same thing. Commented Mar 12, 2016 at 14:40
