Perhaps then you should first finish the course, and then figure-out his 
'what's next'. Possibly the story continues?
[by then you will have basic Python objectives achieved]

Failing that, revert and in a new msg/thread re-ask the question - 
perhaps stating the problem as a user request or series of "user 
stories"; and then asking how OOP-oriented pythonista would go-about 
designing a solution (classes, methods, algorithms, ...)?
[which I believe is what you want to learn, under the "OOP" heading]
