I've been studying Object Oriented Theory using Java. Theoretically, all

might well be valid Java, but...
Why? I mean sure, lots of them should be, but if I am doing something like:
class person:
age = 21
name = 'Cool Dude'
...this gives you class attributes, so the age is always 21 and the name
is always 'Cool Dude'. So you can vary the age and name you'd need:-
class person():
def __init__(self, age, name):
self.age = age
self.name = name

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
