I don't think a few code snippets prove the point. My conjecture is that any complex enough piece of code with essentially (not accidentally!) convoluted concepts will benefit from OOP more than any other style

Can we just appreciate the fact Python is such a Swiss Army Knife and allows for multi-paradigm approach?

Let's just not use low "bashing" of any paradigm as an excuse to neglect the design.

In some other thread someone mentioned lack of quality metrics. Well, this question has been asked previously, a recommended read from me: http://www.wirfs-brock.com/PDFs/How%20Designs%20Differ.pdf
