How do these Java concepts translate to Python?

[Ray]

Thanks guys! Your explanations have cleared up things significantly.

My transition from C++ to Java to C# was quite painless because they
were so similar, but Python is particularly challenging because the
concepts are quite different. (I always have this paranoid feeling: "Am
I using Python to write Java, or using Python to write Python?")

Regards,
Ray
