The tutorial page for classes starts with "Compared with other programming languages". While object-oriented programming and classes are popular in many programming languages, not everyone learning about Python's classes is familiar with the concept. I teach both new programmers and programmers who have heard of object-oriented programming but never created a class before. I think the first paragraph on this page should be a brief explanation of the use of classes. It may also be a good idea to have a "Why classes?" section explaining the uses of classes in more detail. |

This particular PR seems fine. I'll review it in more detail later. In general, the tutorial is intended to be a structured overview of the language rather than a how-to-program lesson. Concepts are usually linked to the glossary or external sources and some information is communicated indirectly by the examples. |

Apparently this was committed without my review. |
