Python is the same as Ruby according to your list except: Inheritance: multiple Access to super method (Python 2.1 syntax): super(MyClass, self).methodName root class: None Super is not a keyword so you need to tell it what method it is syntactically contained in (but then you can use it anywhere you want without worrying about syntactic contex) But there are things you could argue about like private data/methods -- you can get at them but you need to do extra work to do so(as in most other languages). Garbage collection: yes, except in very rare situations involving deterministic finalizers in a cyclic loop (which finalizers do you run in what order?). Paul Prescod
