What is the base class in python or base Object? For example we have base exception for the exceptions, but do we have a base class for the classes or objects?

It's the object class.

You can check this by using inspect.getmro which returns the entire class hierarchy of a type.

example:

import inspect

class A: # inherits nothing
  pass

class B(A): # inherits A
  pass

print(inspect.getmro(B))
print(inspect.getmro(A))

Output:

(<class '__main__.B'>, <class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>)
(<class '__main__.A'>, <class 'object'>)
