OO in Python? ^^

Python IS Object Oriented, since everything is an object in Python,
even functions, strings, modules, classes and class instances.

But Python is also dynamically typed so inheritance and polymorphism,
ideas coming from other languages, are not that much important.

Python is different than C/C++, Java and co.
If you can pass over it, you'll see for yourself if it's worth learning.
