C++ is called a "hybrid", because it implements both paradigms, 
procedural and object orientated programming.
C++ was from the beginning on designed with OO in mind, and has
very much in common with the first OO language Simula. 
C and C++ are two different languages! C++ is not a newer version of C.

Of course Python is OO, but for me it is too scriptic, e.g. you
can simply assign instance variables from outside (at least this
was so in 1.5). For me this is bad OO style. Ruby follows here 
Eiffel or Sather, whereas Python follows the C++ tradition.
