Coming from C++/Java camp i can't help 
noticing that in most cases, when i'm 
using a class written by somebody else, 
i don't want to see his/her code. I only
want to know WHAT the function does (is
intended to be doing, at least).

I don't want to look at the source code 
(in some cases i can't even see the code 
because it's compiled). I only care that
when i execute

  SomeType obj = SomeType();
  obj.aggregate();

the object gets aggregated. How it's done
will be up to the author. I'm just a user 
of the product.

Now, i'm getting the signal that it's 
done in a different way in Python. Please
elaborate. I'm very new to snakeology.
