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.
