Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming - Third Edition

This is the code repository for Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming - Third Edition, published by Packt.

Build robust and maintainable software with object-oriented design patterns in Python 3.8

What is this book about?

Object-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.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Implement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methods
• Grasp common concurrency techniques and pitfalls in Python 3
• Extend class functionality using inheritance
• Understand when to use object-oriented features, and more importantly when not to use them
• Discover what design patterns are and why they are different in Python
• Uncover the simplicity of unit testing and why it's so important in Python
• Explore object-oriented programming concurrently with asyncio
