Python object() built-in function
From the Python 3 documentation
Return a new featureless object. object is a base for all classes. It has methods that are common to all instances of Python classes. This function does not accept any arguments.
Introduction
The object() function returns a new, empty, featureless object. This object is the base for all classes in Python. It doesn’t have any special attributes or methods.
While you can create object instances, it’s not something you’ll do often in day-to-day programming. It’s more of a fundamental building block of Python’s object model.
Example
# Create a new object
o = object()
# See its type
print(type(o)) # Output: <class 'object'>
# It has no attributes you can set
# o.name = "test" # This would raise an AttributeError
