Using parenthesis or not when defining a python class [duplicate]

Question

When do I need to define a class as this:

class test:

as opposed to this:

class test():

In other words, what difference does it make whether or not there is a parenthesis?

Are you sure you can define class as your second one in Python? — Frank

The "class test():" is used when subclassing it, else if inheritence is not employed, use "class test:"

Parentheses after a class definition are used to indicate inheritance. If you dont inherent it from any other classes. Just simply declare it without parentheses. Look at this for more information.
