Key Features
- Create applications with flexible logging, powerful configuration and command-line options, automated unit tests, and good documentation
- Use the Python special methods to integrate seamlessly with built-in features and the standard library
- Design classes to support object persistence in JSON, YAML, Pickle, CSV, XML, Shelve, and SQL
Book Description
An object-oriented approach to Python web development gives you a much more fully-realised experience of the language. The flexibility and power of Python, combined with the improvements in design, coding and software maintenance that object-oriented programming allows, is built to respond to the challenges of increasingly more complex and data-intensive application development, making difficult tasks much more manageable. This book has been designed to make this sophisticated approach to programming easier to learn quickly, providing you with a clear and coherent learning journey.
Beginning by looking at a range of design patterns for the _init_() method, you will learn how to effectively use a range of Python’s special methods to create classes that integrate with Python’s built-in features, and find detailed explorations and demonstrations of callables and contexts, containers and collections, numbers, and decorators and mixins, with a focus on best practices for effective and successful design. The book also features information that demonstrates how to create persistent objects using JSON, YAML, Pickle, CSV, XML, Shelve and SQL and shows you how to transmit objects between processes. Going further into OOP, you’ll find expert information on logging, warnings, unit testing as well as working with the command line.
Structured in 3 parts to make the complexity of OOP more manageable - Pythonic Classes via Special Methods, Persistence and Serialization and Testing, Debugging, Deploying, and Maintaining - this book offers deep insight into OOP that will help you develop expert level object-oriented Python skills.
What you will learn
- Create applications with flexible logging, powerful configuration and command-line options, automated unit tests, and good documentation
- Get to grips with different design patterns for the __init__() method
- Design callable objects and context managers
- Perform object serialization in formats such as JSON, YAML, Pickle, CSV, and XML
- Map Python objects to a SQL database using the built-in SQLite module
- Transmit Python objects via RESTful web services
- Devise strategies for automated unit testing, including how to use the doctest and the unittest.mock module
- Parse command-line arguments and integrate this with configuration files and environment variables

The purchase contract is concluded with momox SE.
The subject of the contract is the sale of goods.
If an article is posted by us on AbeBooks, the activation of the offer page on AbeBooks is the binding offer to conclude a contract under the conditions contained in the article page.
The presentation of the products in the online store does not constitute a legally binding offer, but a non-binding online catalog. You have the option to complete the ordering process via the shopping cart system or the buy now function. You can initially place our products in the shopping cart without obligation and correct your entries at any time before submitting your binding order by using the correction tools provided and explained for this purpose in the order process. By clicking the order button you make a binding offer for the goods contained in the shopping cart. By pressing the button "Buy now" an order is automatically created, which will be sent to the delivery address you have provided and for which a payment is made with the specified payment method.
The confirmation of receipt of your order will be sent by e-mail immediately after sending the order. We accept your order within 2 days by us or AbeBooks on our behalf submitting/issuing a declaration of acceptance or shipping confirmation in a separate email or, if applicable, the payment transaction is carried out by the service provider or the selected payment service provider.

For claims based on damage caused by us, our legal representatives or vicarious agents, we shall always be liable without limitation - in the event of injury to life, limb or health - in the event of intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty - in the event of warranty promises, insofar as agreed, or - insofar as the scope of application of the Product Liability Act is opened. In the event of a breach of essential contractual obligations, the fulfillment of which is a prerequisite for the proper execution of the contract and the observance of which the contractual partner may regularly rely on (cardinal obligations) due to slight negligence on our part, on the part of our legal representatives or vicarious agents, liability shall be limited to the amount of the damage foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the occurrence of which must typically be expected. Otherwise, claims for damages are excluded.
10. dispute resolution
The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/. Consumers have the possibility to use this platform for the settlement of their disputes.
To settle disputes arising from a contractual relationship with a consumer or whether such a contractual relationship exists at all, we are obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. The responsible body is the Universalschlichtungsstelle des Bundes am Zentrum für Schlichtung e.V., Straßburger Straße 8, 77694 Kehl am Rhein, www.verbraucher-schlichter.de. We will participate in a dispute resolution procedure before this body.
11. protection of minors
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we ensure that the customer has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable procedure involving a personal identity and age check. The delivery person will hand over the goods only after the age check has been carried out and only to the customer in person.
Delivery to packing stations is not possible in this case.
