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.

    The question is invalid!

    Write the code that makes sense for your problem. This is not religion where choosing the wrong thing can land you in hell for eternity or whatever it is your gods will do if they don’t like you. You should be mixing OO, functional, and procedural code all the time as each does some things well and some things poorly. Of course don’t create a mess by the mix, but good code has a need for all 3 styles. (IIRC there are more styles the good code needs, but I can’t think of what it might be at the moment)

        Computers only have one language and one data type. Everything else is a construct, which we can build up into a beautiful thing: a mathematics that exists in the real world instead of the pure realm of axioms and symbols, and because it’s purely our own creation and not the universe’s, we know it from the fundamentals and don’t have to struggle with all the unknowns of physics, which presents us with very different, more mysterious mathematical objects to interact with instead.
