Classes and Python

I'm a newbie of Python and I'm still reading its tutorial (downloaded
from the official site).
I've found this sentence:
I also have to warn you that there's a terminological pitfall for
object-oriented readers: the word ``object'' in Python does not
necessarily mean a class instance. Like C++ and Modula-3, and unlike
Smalltalk, not all types in Python are classes: the basic built-in
types like integers and lists are not, and even somewhat more exotic
types like files aren't. However, all Python types share a little bit
of common semantics that is best described by using the word object.
What's the real meaning of that?
