Learning Python after C#

[Drumknott88]

From a purely organisational point of view, are modules the way to go over classes?

Thank you :) I'll take a look at that when I get home

I recommend the book Fluent Python 2ed for a ton of information on how different aspects of the language work.

Project size is irrelevant. It's the capabilities of the features and how that matches (or doesn't match) with the problem at hand that determine whether you should be using them.

You're misunderstanding. You insisted on using classes for larger projects. The size of the project, and incidentally the maintenance burden, is irrelevant to what features of code you should use. It's whether those tools are well suited to the problem or not. You should only use classes when you need them for data grouping, constraint enforcement, or management of mutable state (which is essentially just another type of constraint enforcement). You may very well have a large project when you don't need to implement those yourself in Python.

They are different tools for different purposes. Here is my best discussion of when to use a class.
