I'd like to know the difference between object and instance of class. I feel both are same, but why do we call with two names. Can anybody explain with real life example?

Everything in Python is an object such as integers, lists, dictionaries, functions and so on. Every object has a type and the object types are created using classes. Instance is an object that belongs to a class.
Instance refers to Reference of an object. Object is actually pointing to memory address of that instance. A single object can have more than one instance. Instance will have the both class definition and the object definition where as in object it will have only the object definition.
An instance of a class is an object. It is also known as a class object or class instance. As such, instantiation may be referred to as construction. Whenever values vary from one object to another, they are called instance variables.
Object instance is a specific occurrence of an object. For example, a specific mail message document is an instance.
They are the same thing in most object-oriented languages. "Instance of a class" is just how the term "object" is defined.
