An object is a value that behaves like what it"s supposed to represent. Objects can be combined to get a reasonable representation of the objects" meaning. Primary mechanism through which objects have behavior: attributes. Attributes can be bound to values: today. year, today. month. Attributes can be bound to functions called methods: today. strftime( %a %b d") Consist of data and behavior, bundled together to create abstractions. Objects can represent things, but also properties, interactions, and processes. A type of object is called a class; classes are rst-class values in python. Special syntax that can improve the composition of programs.
