If you want to highlight the OOP nature of Python, rather than looking at magic methods, I'd first look at polymorphism. You can add a pair of integers; you can add a pair of tuples; you can add a pair of strings. Each one logically adds two things together and gives a result, and they're all spelled the exact same way. Dunder methods are a way for custom classes to slot into that same polymorphism, but the polymorphism exists first and the dunders come later. ChrisA
not disagreeing... and yeah I could have thought deeper about the answer, but I still think "notthing has been OOP" -> "yes it has, they just didn't realize it" was worth mentioning
