I've seen short python programs (5 pages of code) mutilated with over architecture and boiler plate from a Java dev. The great thing about python is that short scripts of a few pages don't necessarily need a class if you're doing something super basic.
Agreed. An ex Java guy I was working with asked me how yo do a singleton in Python. I had to google it because I had never thought of the problem before. As the answer said a module with functions is essentially a singleton. No need to overcomplicate things.
As an iOS developer I so hated getting into Objective-C code written by Java developers. They really don't get the principle of dynamic languages and they are too fond of making shitloads of classes for everything.
