Is OOP in Python improper?

[red spruce]

Yes oop in Python is improper

It violates almost all the rules

The easiest example would be lack of access modifiers

It requires "self" which is like using "this" in java for example which is odd if it were object oriented truly and not a language pretending to be object oriented

Its also a strongly typed language that relies heavily on implicit typing... Which makes traditional polymorphism wack

Essentially:

encapsulation, you cant enforce.
abstraction, not required because encapsulation cant be enforced
Inheritance is just for reducing redudancy
Polymorphism basically isn't true polymorphism mostly because of implicit typing

I wouldnt say its improper, it’s just not very effective
