classes and functions

[Nicholas Parsons]

Hi Claire,

That is the beauty of using Python.  You have a choice of using  
classes and traditional OOP techniques or sticking to top level  
functions.  For short, small scripts it would probably be overkill to  
use classes.  Yet the programmer still has classes in his tool chest  
if he/she is writing code that is going to be reused in larger  
projects.  In contrast, languages like Java force you into doing  
everything with classes.

Another good resource to read is "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz and  
David Ascher if you want to learn more about python.

Hope this helps...
