FORCED to create a new class, and FORCED to create instances of their own class instead of your class?
I don't see any way to produce the same behavior without *someone* (the user or the stdlib) declaring a class. If you see a way to do this without a class declared somewhere, please let me know how...
without this, Python must surely be unusable.
I definitely agree. Python without classes would be quite unpleasant to use.
no wonder nobody's ever managed to use it for anything.
Yeah, I don't think anyone's managed to use Python without classes for years, especially since things like int, str, etc. were converted to types.
