I'm mathematically trained so in the beginning I really like writing python program in pure functional paradigm. Until I was facing this issue. But, adopting OOP doesn't mean one have to give up on pure functional paradigm, there's a book which basically is talking about how you can incorporate more functional paradigm into OOP. One way to look at it is (perhaps trivially) that methods are just functions, and class is just something with properties. So in a sense class defines a type, where the methods/functions expects this type. In python I find properties (and the related cached properties), dataclass etc can really make the above more apparent in construction. To just give one example, having a property that returns a pure function would acts practically the same as methods (but not in docs unfortunately, and related auto completion kind of stuffs.) Yet another way of looking at this is to treat Python class as singular dispatch in first argument only. I find thinking this way enables me to reap the benefits of both OOP and pure functional paradigm.
