Python Object Types

Python is organized into a hierarchy of object types. Sometimes, these are just call types.

Objects are the basic unit out of which the language is constructed.

We’ll learn about objects later – what they are and how to create your own – but for now just understand that they have two main things associated with them:

• First, they can contain data.
• Second, they can have behaviors, frequently in relation to the data they contain.

Data types and data structures are kinds of objects.
