The Python standard library and PEP8

[Emmanuel Surleau]

> What makes you think Python is "an OO language"? 

Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used 
for many kinds of software development.

First line on the Python official website. Was this a trick question?

Ruby, for instance.

Allowing for procedural-style programming does not mean that a language 
does not implement (even imperfectly) an OO paradigm.
