The PizzaRobot in Learning Python gave me a better idea what OO in Python
is about, and what it can be used for, than anything else I have read so far.
But it didn't teach me OO. Either I have to do a lot of thinking and 
experimenting myself, or I have to wait for a book with more ideas, 
concepts, design etc, and not in the first place tricks and techniques.

Actually a great eye opener was the remark in this list a few days ago,
when someone said that you use classes when you have to combine 
program and data, and functions when you have only program code.
Or something like that. For what is a program without data.
