unhealthy infatuation with OO that Python promotes

Let me tell you again that Python is a pragmatic multi-paradigm language - it does not have an unhealthy infatuation with OO. As I already pointed out, there are many languages with a stronger OO emphasis: Ruby, Smalltalk and Java to name just a few.

It's early days yet, but I'm sorry to report that you are starting to show some eerie similarities to sundial namely:

• Not providing citations to support your pet theories and strong opinions.
• Re-posting the same flawed technical advice/opinion and home-spun wisdoms, even after they have been shown to be flawed.
• Ignoring (or flatly rejecting without giving any reasons/citations) posts that demonstrate flaws in your posts.
• Failing to read basic Perl documentation.
• Posting at length on topics on which you have limited experience or expertise, such as OO and the perl tr operator.

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.

Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.

Please read these before you post! —

• How do I compose an effective node title?
• How do I post a question effectively?
• Markup in the Monastery

a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr

You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
