This document provides an introduction to object-oriented programming in Python. It discusses key concepts like classes, instances, inheritance, and modules. Classes group state and behavior together, and instances are created from classes. Methods defined inside a class have a self parameter. The __init__ method is called when an instance is created. Inheritance allows classes to extend existing classes. Modules package reusable code and data, and the import statement establishes dependencies between modules. The __name__ variable is used to determine if a file is being run directly or imported.
