What's that? You mean "Object Oriented"? If yes, are you really a
programmer (in fact, I know the answer, it's a rhetorical question)? If
no, do you know that python doesn't require Object Oriented programming
(it's another rhethorical question)?

Yes and no... Everything in Python is an object but you don't necessarily
need to construct your own classes.

      Integers are immutable objects in Python. When you modify an integer, a
     new object is created instead of modifying the existing one.
          x = 10
 Wowza!

$ for i in range(10): print("int %d, id = %d" % (i, id(i)))
int 0, id = 140706145489672
int 1, id = 140706145489704
int 2, id = 140706145489736
int 3, id = 140706145489768
int 4, id = 140706145489800
int 5, id = 140706145489832
int 6, id = 140706145489864
int 7, id = 140706145489896
int 8, id = 140706145489928
int 9, id = 140706145489960
wowza^10!
What do you notice about those id numbers?
