This is a question for people more experienced with Python, but everybody feel free to answer if you feel like you can provide something decent to the discussion.

Also feel free to explain why you feel that way and your experiences with Python and the paradigms.

I do agree except for the last sentence because I do not think that OOP is the silver bullet for everything.

I was talking about Python specifically. And no, of course it's not a silver bullet. It's a solution for structuring your code base in a way that lets you not lose track of what does what.

It's also a good way to structure your code to effectively model your problem domain.

And there are also many cases where that's not true, so use it where it makes sense and don't use it where it doesn't.
