Code isn't represented by objects: the compiled bytecode, or the abstract tree, or the tokens are though. The previous sentence has "In a sense ... code is also represented by objects", which (by hedging) seems more accurate?
If the Von Neumann aside is to go, perhaps it makes more sense to bin the full sentence?:

| is represented by objects or by relations between objects. |

I'd say for the first paragraph it's good enough to say code is represented by objects. It carries the point of the original sentence, to underscore how pervasive objects are in the Python world.

Interestingly the bot successfully backported, miss-islington@1e62f3b, but did not open the PR. I will try re-applying the labels to jog it. |

Second time over, commit is created: miss-islington@11f701f yet the PR is not. Third time lucky? |

I fold, for the third time, Miss Islington successfully backports but fails on opening the PR. I will do it manually. |
