I suggest you look again, then. Things like PyObject_String, PyObject_GetAttrString, or PySequence_GetItem all express the object-orientation in the API. The hide the actual implementation of how string conversion is done, how attribute names are converted to attribute values, and how an item in an enumerable sequence is accessed. They exhibit polymorphism, late binding, and encapsulation, which are among the core properties of object-orientation. The C API (although not these three functions) also supports inheritance, which is the core property missing in the previous list.
