That's not really the standard definition of object-oriented (c.f.
Wikipedia), but by your definition (which seems Java/Ruby-centric,
IMHO), Python would not be object-oriented.

In addition to methods, Python has functions, which are not associated
with a class and let you write code in a procedural style, thus
failing your criterion.
Python also has the top-level module scope, in which the code isn't
even part of a method or function at all and thus certainly is not
associated with a class, again not satisfying your criterion.

Cheers,
Chris
