Key benefits

  • Extend core OOP techniques to increase integration of classes created with Python
  • Explore a variety of Python libraries for handling persistence and object serialization
  • Learn alternative approaches for solving programming problems with different attributes to address your problem domain

Description

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a relatively complex discipline to master, and it can be difficult to see how general principles apply to each language's unique features. With the help of the latest edition of Mastering Objected-Oriented Python, you'll be shown how to effectively implement OOP in Python, and even explore Python 3.x. Complete with practical examples, the book guides you through the advanced concepts of OOP in Python, and demonstrates how you can apply them to solve complex problems in OOP. You will learn how to create high-quality Python programs by exploring design alternatives and determining which design offers the best performance. Next, you'll work through special methods for handling simple object conversions and also learn about hashing and comparison of objects. As you cover later chapters, you'll discover how essential it is to locate the best algorithms and optimal data structures for developing robust solutions to programming problems with minimal computer processing. Finally, the book will assist you in leveraging various Python features by implementing object-oriented designs in your programs. By the end of this book, you will have learned a number of alternate approaches with different attributes to confidently solve programming problems in Python.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers who want to use Python to create efficient programs. A good understanding of Python programming is required to make the most out of this book. Knowledge of concepts related to object-oriented design patterns will also be useful.

What you will learn

  • Explore a variety of different design patterns for the __init__() method
  • Learn to use Flask to build a RESTful web service
  • Discover SOLID design patterns and principles
  • Use the features of Python 3 s abstract base
  • Create classes for your own applications
  • Design testable code using pytest and fixtures
  • Understand how to design context managers that leverage the with statement
  • Create a new type of collection using standard library and design techniques
  • Develop new number types above and beyond the built-in classes of numbers

I found this book to be insightful and easy to read. Steven Lott certainly has the rare talent of combing technical rigor with a certain level of playful eloquence. This is a great introduction to object oriented programming (OOP) paradigm in Python 3. This is both a useful introductory text for software engineers as well as a reference text for a more seasoned professional.

Pretty good text but code needs to formatted better. Most code has wraparound that makes it hard to read. Page 525 has serious formatting problem on code. However, because of the age of this edition, few are going to buy it now anyway.

I get that it's useful to have an example class used throughout the book. But I think the blackjack-playing class was a little to obscure, it's not really a use case that a real programmer will come across (and gambling and games of gambling are of particularly little interest to me), and having the unicode symbols all over the place for the different suits (♠ ♥ ♣ ♦) instead of text is visually very distracting. I would have rathered follow along with a "real" program, even if its particular use case wasn't one I commonly use. A lot of references are made to the previous Python OOP book written by the author, so I bought it also even though only about 15% of it was new information to me. Despite these caveats, the author knows her stuff very well. Final note: this is a huge tome, extremely thick and difficuly to maneuver and weighs a ton.

What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
