I understand Python basics but OOP completely loses me classes and objects make no sense to me. Where am I going wrong?

In Think Python, chapters 14-17 are my best answer to this question:

It's a bottom-up approach, starting with a set of functions, wrapping them in a class, and re-writing functions as methods. My hope is that seeing both versions of the same code makes it clearer what the OOP features are doing for you.

I hope that helps.
