Ask HN: What do you think about using classes in Python?

The team I'm working with use python for backend scripts and now they want to change all the python code to use Classes. I don't think this is necessary because we'll end having a lot of unwanted boilerplate code. I think classes are suited if you want many instances of the same thing, each with its own isolated state.. otherwise it's useless. You can have a clean and concise Python code without classes. How would you handle that? What would be your arguments?
