Using python is great; your deduction about use of OO in R harder to support. The Bioconductor project (300+ packages, not all with strong OO components) makes extensive use of S4, as does the Matrix recommended package, for instance; S4 really opens the door to more complex OO approaches, but a very large number of packages use OO concepts under the S3 object system.
