Uncover modern Python with this guide to Python data structures, design patterns, and effective object-oriented techniquesKey FeaturesIn-depth analysis of many common object-oriented design patterns that are more suitable to Python's unique styleLearn the latest Python syntax and librariesExplore abstract design patterns and implement them in Python 3.8Book DescriptionObject-oriented programming (OOP) is a popular design paradigm in which data and behaviors are encapsulated in such a way that they can be manipulated together. This third edition of Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming fully explains classes, data encapsulation, and exceptions with an emphasis on when you can use each principle to develop well-designed software.Starting with a detailed analysis of object-oriented programming, you will use the Python programming language to clearly grasp key concepts from the object-oriented paradigm. You will learn how to create maintainable applications by studying higher level design patterns. The book will show you the complexities of string and file manipulation, and how Python distinguishes between binary and textual data. Not one, but two very powerful automated testing systems, unittest and pytest, will be introduced in this book. You'll get a comprehensive introduction to Python's concurrent programming ecosystem.By the end of the book, you will have thoroughly learned object-oriented principles using Python syntax and be able to create robust and reliable programs confidently.What you will learnImplement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methodsGrasp common concurrency techniques and pitfalls in Python 3Extend class functionality using inheritanceUnderstand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly when not to use themDiscover what design patterns are and why they are different in PythonUncover the simplicity of unit testing and why it s so important in PythonExplore concurrent object-oriented programmingWho this book is forIf you're new to object-oriented programming techniques, or if you have basic Python skills and wish to learn in depth how and when to correctly apply OOP in Python, this is the book for you. If you are an object-oriented programmer for other languages or seeking a leg up in the new world of Python 3.8, you too will find this book a useful introduction to Python. Previous experience with Python 3 is not necessary.

Level up your Python development by exploring advanced OOP concepts in this updated edition covering the latest design patterns, OOP techniques, and real-world projects tailored for Python 3.11 and beyondKey FeaturesBuild an intuitive understanding of object-oriented design, from introductory to mature programsLearn the ins and outs of Python syntax, libraries, and best practicesExamine a machine-learning case study at the end of each chapterBook DescriptionPython Object-Oriented Programming, Fourth Edition is a practical guide to advancing your OOP skills with modern Python. Going beyond the fundamentals, it helps you work with Python as an OOP language, explore both common and advanced design patterns, and apply these concepts to data manipulation and testing of complex OOP systems. Each chapter features newly written open-ended exercises as well as a real-world case study, aligned with the improvements in Python 3.11—bringing faster execution and memory efficiency to your applications.Authors Steven F. Lott and Dusty Phillips provide a comprehensive, illustrative tour of important OOP concepts, such as inheritance, composition, and polymorphism, showing how they integrate with Python’s classes and data structures to facilitate good design. The book also introduces two powerful automated testing systems, unittest and pytest, and explores Python's concurrent programming ecosystem in depth.By the end of the book, you’ll have a thorough understanding of how to think about and apply object-oriented principles using Python syntax to create robust and reliable programs.What you will learnImplement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methodsExtend class functionality using inheritanceUse exceptions to handle unusual situations cleanlyUnderstand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly, when not to use themDiscover several widely used design patterns and how they are implemented in PythonUncover the simplicity of unit and integration testing and understand why they are so importantLearn to statically type check your dynamic codeUnderstand concurrency with asyncio and how it speeds up programsWho this book is forIf you are new to object-oriented programming or if you have basic Python skills and want to learn how and when to correctly apply OOP principles in Python 3.11 and beyond, this is the book for you. Mid-level Python developers, software engineers, and data scientists will benefit from its practical guidance. Complete with a solid introduction to Python, this book proves to be a useful resource for experienced object-oriented programmers transitioning from other languages or seeking a leg up in the new world of Python. Minimal previous experience with Python programming is necessary.

Harness the power of Python objects and data structures to implement algorithms for analyzing your data and efficiently extracting informationKey FeaturesTurn your designs into working software by learning the Python syntaxWrite robust code with a solid understanding of Python data structuresUnderstand when to use the functional or the OOP approachBook DescriptionThis Learning Path helps you get comfortable with the world of Python. It starts with a thorough and practical introduction to Python. You’ll quickly start writing programs, building websites, and working with data by harnessing Python's renowned data science libraries. With the power of linked lists, binary searches, and sorting algorithms, you'll easily create complex data structures, such as graphs, stacks, and queues. After understanding cooperative inheritance, you'll expertly raise, handle, and manipulate exceptions. You will effortlessly integrate the object-oriented and not-so-object-oriented aspects of Python, and create maintainable applications using higher level design patterns. Once you’ve covered core topics, you’ll understand the joy of unit testing and just how easy it is to create unit tests.By the end of this Learning Path, you will have built components that are easy to understand, debug, and can be used across different applications.This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:Learn Python Programming - Second Edition by Fabrizio RomanoPython Data Structures and Algorithms by Benjamin BakaPython 3 Object-Oriented Programming by Dusty PhillipsWhat you will learnUse data structures and control flow to write codeUse functions to bundle together a sequence of instructionsImplement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methodsDesign public interfaces using abstraction, encapsulation and information hidingRaise, define, and manipulate exceptions using special error objectsCreate bulletproof and reliable software by writing unit testsLearn the common programming patterns and algorithms used in PythonWho this book is forIf you are relatively new to coding and want to write scripts or programs to accomplish tasks using Python, or if you are an object-oriented programmer for other languages and seeking a leg up in the world of Python, then this Learning Path is for you. Though not essential, it will help you to have basic knowledge of programming and OOP.
