Despite what Buck says (and his opinion is a very useful one here,

Sorry for the confusion; I don't feel Python is inherently more OO than
Java, but that OO is hard for this RPG programmer to grok. I should
have trimmed my post better.

Ah, OK. You were saying that you agree with Jon on the "OO is the
hardest thing for most RPGers to pick up" part. To a large extent, I
agree with both of you on that. (I think there are even harder things
than OO to pick up, but OO is a big one because it is so pervasive in
today's mainstream programming. Most of the things that I consider
even harder are on the exotic side, and not used by nearly as many
programmers in their day-to-day work as OO concepts.)
