If we really want to keep it simple, we can take this starting point:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_(computer_science)
If we agree with the Wikipedia definition:
``In the class-based object-oriented programming paradigm, "object"
refers to a particular instance of a class...``
than we can say in Python everything is an object, because everything is
an instance of a class. And of course, object is synonimous for instance:
>>> (1, 2, 3).foo
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'foo'
