Hi,

Python is the first programming language that I'm learning.
I'm confused by the idea of classes and intimidated by syntax defining
classes. I understand that you define classes to have re-usable methods and
procedures, but, don't functions serve the same purpose.
Can someone please explain the idea of classes and what *things *like
"__init__", "Object" and "self" mean ?

Thanks
