By: Kamon Ayeva, Kasampalis, Sakis Kasampalis

Overview of this book

As software systems become increasingly complex, maintaining code quality, scalability, and efficiency can be a daunting challenge. Mastering Python Design Patterns is an essential resource that equips you with the tools you need to overcome these hurdles and create robust, scalable applications. The book delves into design principles and patterns in Python, covering both classic and modern patterns, and apply them to solve daily challenges as a Python developer or architect. Co-authored by two Python experts with a combined experience of three decades, this new edition covers creational, structural, behavioral, and architectural patterns, including concurrency, asynchronous, and performance patterns. You'll find out how these patterns are relevant to various domains, such as event handling, concurrency, distributed systems, and testing. Whether you're working on user interfaces (UIs), web apps, APIs, data pipelines, or AI models, this book equips you with the knowledge to build robust and maintainable software. The book also presents Python anti-patterns, helping you avoid common pitfalls and ensuring your code remains clean and efficient. By the end of this book, you'll be able to confidently apply classic and modern Python design patterns to build robust, scalable applications.

LSP

The LSP is another fundamental concept in object-oriented programming. It dictates how subclasses should relate to their superclasses. According to the LSP, if a program uses objects of a superclass, then the substitution of these objects with objects of a subclass should not change the correctness and expected behavior of the program.

Following this principle is important for maintaining the robustness of a software system. It ensures that, when using inheritance, subclasses extend their parent classes without altering their external behavior. For example, if a function works correctly with an object of a superclass, it should also work correctly with objects of any subclass of this superclass.

The LSP allows developers to introduce new subclass types without the risk of breaking existing functionality. This is particularly important in large-scale systems where changes in one part can have effects on other parts of the system. By following the LSP, developers can safely...
