Data types

[waqar]

What are the user defined types in Python? Can we call lists, tuples &
dictionaries user-defined data types?

 

[Lonnie Princehouse]

Lists, tuples, and dictionaries are built-in types.
Classes are the mechanism for user-defined types in Python.

I am new to python and learning it. Can you please give me a simple
example of user defined type through class mechanism.

Despite what Mr Gumby just said, defining your own classes is pretty
painless in Python. Check out the Tutorial, especially section 9:

Enjoy!
