Module 2
Master Python's Data Model: Make Your Objects Feel Native
1
__repr__ vs. __str__: Developer vs. User Output
Implement __repr__ for developer output and __str__ for user display, understanding the distinction.
2
Implementing Python's Iterator Protocol
Implement the iteration protocol (__iter__/__next__) correctly, avoiding the common mistake of returning self from __iter__.
3
Simplifying Iterators with Generators and `yield`
Use `yield` to create concise and correct generator-based iterators as a simpler alternative to manual stateful classes.
Custom Containers: Sizing and Membership
Implement __len__ and __contains__ to enable `len()` and the `in` operator on custom container types.
5
Implementing Integer Indexing with `__getitem__`
Implement __getitem__ to support integer-based indexing on a custom container.
6
Implementing Slice Support for Custom Classes
Extend __getitem__ to handle slice objects, enabling full slicing functionality.
7
Python Properties: Managed Attributes
Use the `@property` decorator to create managed attributes, replacing the need for Java-style getters and setters.
8
Custom Descriptors: Implementing `__get__`, `__set__`, and `__delete__`
Implement a custom descriptor using __get__, __set__, and __delete__ for reusable attribute logic.
