What makes composition an important feature of OOP (python)?

I am going through a python design pattern book and just ran across the mentioning of composition as an important feature of OOP. The following description caught my eye:




In composition, an object is used to call member functions in other modules thereby making base functionality available across modules without inheritance




The associated example is straightforward, but what puzzles me is more basic: why is this an important feature? Without reading this, I'd have taken this feature for granted--shouldn't we always be able to use a function/method inside another function? Why is this viewed as an OOP feature? Are there counter examples that make this non-trivial to do? Thanks!



class A(object):
def a1(self):
print('a1')

class B(object):
def b(self):
print('b')
A().a1()
# Example of class B accessing member function of
# A without inheritance
