The power of Special Methods in Python. Make better classes!

🚀 Course Title: Python Objects with Special Methods - Create Better Classes!

🎓 Headline: Dive into the Python Datamodel: Master Operator Overloading and Emulate Built-in Types with Magic (Dunder) Methods!

Introduction to Python's Intuitive Power 🐍

Python is often praised for its ease of use, allowing even beginners to write their first programs swiftly. As you advance, you might find yourself making educated guesses about how to leverage Python's features or expect third-party libraries to behave as expected. But have you ever wondered why these operations work so seamlessly?

The Secret Behind the Scenes 🕵️‍♂️

In this comprehensive course, you will uncover the mechanisms behind Python's powerful language features. You'll learn how to design your custom classes to naturally integrate with Python's ecosystem, enabling other programmers to interact with your code as if it were a built-in type.

What You'll Learn 🎯

• Understanding the Datamodel: Discover why the term 'Python datamodel' is key to mastering Python objects and how it influences the behavior of your classes.
• Magic Methods (Dunder Methods): Learn about these "magical" methods, also known as dunder methods, that allow you to define the behavior of common operations for your custom objects.

📝 Key Skills You'll Gain:

• Write an indexer using __getitem__ to support subscripting.
• Make your objects iterable by applying __iter__ and __next__.
• Define object identity with __hash__ to make objects hashable.
• Specify language features like equality and relational operations with __eq__, __ne__, __lt__, __gt__, __le__, and __ge__.
• Make objects callable by implementing __call__.
• Describe object construction with __new__ and __init__.
• Wrap existing code into context managers using __enter__ and __exit__.

Hands-On Learning without Exercises 🖥️

This course is designed for a hands-on learning experience through clear examples. There are no exercises to complete; instead, you'll watch and learn as each special method is explained in detail with practical demonstrations.

Who This Course Is For 👩‍💻

• Python developers looking to elevate their skills and deepen their understanding of the language.
• Developers transitioning from other languages like C#, Java, JavaScript, or C++ who want to explore Python's unique features.
