New submission from Trey Hunner: The tutorial page for classes starts with "Compared with other programming languages".
While object-oriented programming and classes are popular in many programming languages, not everyone learning about Python's classes is familiar with the concept. I teach both new programmers and programmers who have heard of object-oriented programming but never created a class before. I think the first paragraph on this page should be a brief explanation of the use of classes. It may also be a good idea to have a "Why classes?" section explaining the uses of classes in more detail. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 294409 nosy: docs@python, trey priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Tutorial doesn't explain the use of classes type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30466> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
