I know that Python not only supports OOP, but is fundamentally OOP in its design. Just in using the language and standard library, that much becomes obvious. However, I do wonder a bit about the practice I have seen of some Python programmers to implement relatively short bits of code, that would be quite simple using functions and procedural code, with classes. Some such code appears far more complicated than the job at hand really demands. I know there is not always a single right or wrong way of accomplishing programming task, but why implement using classes unnecessarily? When is it necessary? When is it best practice? I'll freely admit that I do not come from an OOP programming background, so designing classes is not my first impulse when writing code. Am I missing something?
