Interesting.  Do you have any recommended links to know more about this
topic?

[web2py] Best practices: When to use classes

[lyn2py]

Hi,

I'm obviously super new at this. I appreciate any gentle pointers,
guidelines and best practices on when to use classes when writing code
with web2py (and/or python for that matter).

I ask this because:
- In Ruby on Rails, everything is put under a class of some kind
- I have briefly seen a few discussion posts on here that have used
classes in their code
- I want to learn from experienced python coders (like you!)

Thank you.
