I had heard that Python's OO capabilities  were tacked on after the
initial design and implementation.

I am also playing around with the idea of learning an interpreted OO
language.  I feel some interest in learning Ruby, but Python seems more
widely used.  If there are people on this list who code in both (or either)
Ruby or Python, I would be interested in hearing your opinions.

Thanks.
