 From Wikipedia: "In the class-based object-oriented programming 
paradigm, `object` refers to a particular instance of a class"

So, because in Python everything is an instance of the class object 
(isinstance(obj, object) is always True), everything is an object.
Only classes are instance of type. That means is worth to differentiate 
between classes and non-classes, but it is a non-sense to differentiate 
between classes and objects. If it could be useful:

Yes, that is true, because all these objects are classes

Take a look at all the steps that anticipate this diagram:

http://marco-buttu.github.io/pycon_objmodel/?full#Diagram

Every class inherits from object, and that implies every instance of a 
class is an instance of object. And classes are instance of a class 
(thier metaclass), so they are instance of objects too
