is python Object oriented??

[Veerendra Ganiger]

Python is not purely object oriented programming, because we can write
functions without any class.
You are right, predefined class attributes are available when we write or
execute a piece of python code without defining class, that means it's just
using objects for it's purpose. It does not mean its purely object oriented.


It all depends on implementation, I think even we can make "C" object
oriented with proper implementation.
