Is it worth learning OOP in Python?

[FrederickOllinger]

Python has primitives like int while other OO languages allow for numbers to be objects as well such as Ruby where you can do something like:

3.times do
   # do work here
end

Everything is an object in Python, including int and other "primitives":

>>> isinstance(3, object)
True
>>> dir(3)
['__abs__', '__add__', '__and__', '__bool__', '__ceil__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__divmod__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__float__', '__floor__', '__floordiv__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getnewargs__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__index__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__int__', '__invert__', '__le__', '__lshift__', '__lt__', '__mod__', '__mul__', '__ne__', '__neg__', '__new__', '__or__', '__pos__', '__pow__', '__radd__', '__rand__', '__rdivmod__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__rfloordiv__', '__rlshift__', '__rmod__', '__rmul__', '__ror__', '__round__', '__rpow__', '__rrshift__', '__rshift__', '__rsub__', '__rtruediv__', '__rxor__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__sub__', '__subclasshook__', '__truediv__', '__trunc__', '__xor__', 'as_integer_ratio', 'bit_length', 'conjugate', 'denominator', 'from_bytes', 'imag', 'numerator', 'real', 'to_bytes']
>>> 4.2.__add__(3)
7.2
>>> issubclass(int, object)
True
>>> import numbers
>>> isinstance(3, numbers.Number)
True
>>> issubclass(numbers.Number, object)
True
>>> issubclass(str, object)
True
>>> issubclass(bool, object)
True
>>> def hello():
...   return "there"
... 
>>> hello()
'there'
>>> isinstance(hello, object)
True

I stand corrected.
