Is Python an object based programming langauge?

According to Smalltalk enthusiasts, definitely not.

According to some Pythonistas, yes.

IMNERHO, Python is object _oriented_, but not object _based_. I don't
fault Python for this; it was a design decision, and probably a good
one.

If the question were "Can Python model my OOP idea?", the answer is an
emphatic yes.
