A small hint for everyone interested in gaining deep understanding about 
Python objects:

To gain deep understanding of what objects in Python are is one of the 
biggest challenges when learning Python. There are so many different 
ways of understanding what Python objects are and how Python works with 
them (depending on how deep you want your understanding to be, how deep 
you are ready to dig into this subject and how experienced in 
programming and smart you are), that whenever in the past someone asked 
a question related to such deep understanding in this or other Python 
related newsgroups, the outcome was a never ending discussion thread 
with many controversial postings.

Please be aware, that the video about Python objects (I have checked out 
myself part I) is not consistent in using terms and explaining things, 
so take care assuming that you get enlightened about Python objects 
watching it.
