Davor, Before I learned Python, I too was put off by OO hype. And I suppose I still would be if I still listened to it. But Python's class statement is somewhere inbetween a C typedef and C++/Jave classes. Stripped down pretty much to the essentials and only used when really useful, it made more sense to me.
If you start a project in Python and enlist other competant Pythoneers, they most likely will not be OO fanatics. Simply tell prospective partners that you prefer structured procedural programming to user-written object classes everywhere. An OO afionado will realise that yours is not the project to join. I think you should perhaps read and write more Python code before making a decision. Do note that methods within a class are functions first and benefit from good procedural-code-writing ability.
