The following definitions are AFAIK the only commonly accepted 
definitions about OO:

1/ an object is defined by identity, state and behaviour
2/ objects interacts by sending messages each other
3/ an OO program is made of interacting objects

I let you find out whether Python meets these 3 definitions - and if 
Java does (hint : in Python, everything you can bind to a name is an 
object - this is not true in Java or C++).
