Sounds like a bunch of hooey on both counts ("alot of people claiming"
and "python not OO"). The python object system is closer to C++, ruby's
is closer to SmallTalk; but they are both OO (i.e., everything is an
object), and support all the OOP distinctives (i.e., encapsulation,
abstraction, &c) -- just because a language doesn't implement OO in the
exact same way as another doesn't mean it isn't OO -- it just means
it's a different language. Sounds like mabye you heard a few ruby
zealots who didn't know what they were talking about.
