This document discusses object-oriented programming concepts in Python including:
- Classes define templates for objects with attributes and methods. Objects are instances of classes.
- The __init__ method initializes attributes when an object is constructed.
- Classes can make attributes private using double underscores. Encapsulation hides implementation details.
- Objects can be mutable, allowing state changes, or immutable like strings which cannot change.
- Inheritance allows subclasses to extend and modify parent class behavior through polymorphism.
