This is very true. I write most of my Python code using only procedural/functional constructs and limit the OO parts to a minimum and that's the way I want to do it. Now, I haven't known exactly why I want to do this, except maybe that OO constructs soon turn my code ugly but that's a gut-feeling argument which I've kept to myself. Maybe I've thought that I've unconsciously absorbed from the athmosphere enough of that Java-hating mentality to let it show up in the way I write Python, too. But maybe I've been on to something as well. I'm glad to read about someone else thinking in the same way.
