It is now, but it wasn't always. For example, you didn't used to be able to create a subclass of dict or int. And you can certainly code in Python just using built in data types and functions, not making use of any OO features.
- visitor4rmindia 18y agoWhich is pretty much my point. Python has morphed into "everything is an object". To see how C++ has moved towards objects-for-everything, I have just one word - boost! RE your second point - I don't know of any studies that show OOPS makes programmers more productive. As a matter of fact, some anecdotal evidence (cough pg cough), points to the opposite!
