If you've ever written a Python application with two or more
inter-related classes, you've done object modelling.  Ta-da.
If you haven't, get programming.

It's possible that Bruce Eckel's *Thinking in Python* might help you:
see http://www.mindview.net/Books/TIPython .  I've never read any of
Bruce's stuff myself, so this is just a pointer and not a
recommendation.

Just code up whatever comes naturally.  OODBs are a *lot* easier to map
real data into than RDBs.
