It was "individual" composite objects: Python requires writing a custom type 
(class), as if there were tons of them.

Eg in Keith Winston's project he would have to define a class for the game tupe 
(ChutesAndLadder) even is there were only one of them (there are many because he 
collects stats, and the game is not really played, his app is more like 
instrumenting a game engine for automagic statistics collection; in a common 
case, there would be only one 'game' object).
