terms, since its object-oriented semantics are closer to those of
Python than \Cpp, but I expect that few readers have heard of it.)
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 \Cpp{} 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, \emph{all} Python types
share a little bit of common semantics that is best described by using
the word object.
Objects have individuality, and multiple names (in multiple scopes)
can be bound to the same object. This is known as aliasing in other
languages. This is usually not appreciated on a first glance at
