I don't know why this misconception gets recycled so often.  I think it
might be listed in some FAQ written by a non-Python programmer.

Say it again:  Python was OO from the very first released version (and
before that)!

It's true that, unlike Smalltalk (or Ruby to an extent), you can pretend
that Python is purely imperative when you actually program.  But even
without having to think about it, it's all objects underneath.
