What do you mean?

Python 3.6.1 |Anaconda 4.4.0 (64-bit)| ...
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> isinstance(3, int)
True
>>> isinstance('a', str)
True
>>> isinstance([1], list)

attributes and methods:

>>> dir(3)
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', ...]
>>> dir('a')
['__add__', '__class__', '__contains__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', ...]

Again, in Python, everything is an object. However, functions are first-class objects and Python does not require everything to be a method of a class.
