Dear friend!
I MEANT STANDART TYPES. ARE YOU ABLE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE? If you assign the value for string variable it automaticaly gets the number of methods belonging to String object. And as an example I wrote the s.replace statement.. The similar approach has Ruby. Of course, if you need more complicated functionality you make "import" or another including of some module.
I wrote about this only to show what can the real OO language (Python of course could be figured as procedural language too).
