That isn't true Mark. Int is a kind of object in Python. Float is a kind 
of object. String is a kind of object.

/python/dist/src/Objects/intobject.c
/python/dist/src/Objects/floatobject.c
/python/dist/src/Objects/stringobject.c

The words "float" and "string" do not even occur in the descriptions of 
Python's bytecodes:

Python's interpreter is totally object oriented.
