Hmmm... sorta depends on how you define write procedural code... If
you mean, can you write Python code without accessing object attributes
(e.g. lst.sort()), then the answer's probably almost certainly no. If
you mean can you write Python code without ever writing a class, the
answer's probably yes. It'll make some things harder, and it'll
probably make some modules off-limits, but it's doable.
Could you clarify what you mean by "write purely procedural code"?
