When it comes to 'pure' OO languages like Python, there's no real differences between classes, objects, functions, methods, attributes etc - they're *all* objects. So functional programming in Python is still OO ! When you realize that the def statement is nothing more than syntactic sugar to instantiate a function object, you can ask yourself if using or not using the class statement is really the question. Now to answer your question, I don't have 'criterias to choose the right method for a project'. I happily mix procedural, OO and FP wherever it fits. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
