Mostly it's about how this thinking in terms of objects is
generic and powerful enough to deserve a bigger footprint
in K-12, and that traditional math concepts might be well
served by these same metaphors (math objects, defined by
class blueprints, with instances containing specific state
info -- e.g. fractions, polynomials, vectors etc.).  Python
makes these metaphors concrete.

I mostly stay with pure Python (as a language), and when
I bridge to graphics use POV-Ray as an example.  I'll be
mentioning PyGeo.  I'm just showing an iceberg tip in this
context.
