This will assist in porting applications from Python2 to Python3.

Your changes in ceval.c introduce a bug (missing braces).

Besides, I'm not sure it's a good idea. What if you're extending a class provided by a third-party library?
(just because it's an old-style class doesn't mean it won't work fine under 3.x)

As I said on irc, I predict this will be extremely spammy not only on the stdlib but also on dependencies which people have no control over.

I agree that this is not a good idea. Old-style classes are legal in Python 2 and this syntax is legal in Python 3 where it means new-style classes and in most cases there is no difference between new-style and old-style classes.

Can this be closed as "won't fix" or what?
