[Tutor] techniques for OO design

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

I'm continuing to dabble with Python whenever I can. I struggle, as I
suspect many who have worked with procedure programming languages in the
past have, with the implementing OOP princples. I've created a few rather
simple OO programs and I can see the beauty in it.

I'm wondering if any of you can suggest a method (pun intended) for thinking
about how to structure an OO program. I understand that many people work
with UML, but that's more than I have time for right now. Are there some key
questions that can be asked in the design phase? A simple graphing scheme
perhaps?

I'd love to hear what techniques others use.

-Tim
