Rethink Python programming with this guide to Python data structures, design patterns and effective object oriented techniques, to uncover a truly modern Python

Key Features

Stop writing scripts and start architecting programs
Learn the latest Python syntax and libraries
A practical, hands-on tutorial that teaches you all about abstract design patterns and how to implement them in Python 3

Book Description

Python 3 is more versatile and easier to use than ever. It runs on all major platforms in a huge array of use cases. Coding in Python minimizes development time and increases productivity in comparison to other languages. Clean, maintainable code is easy to both read and write using Python's clear, concise syntax.

Object-oriented programming is a popular design paradigm in which data and behaviors are encapsulated in such a way that they can be manipulated together. Many modern programming languages utilize the powerful concepts behind object-oriented programming and Python is no exception.

Starting with a detailed analysis of object-oriented analysis and design, you will use the Python programming language to clearly grasp key concepts from the object-oriented paradigm. This book fully explains classes, data encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, and exceptions with an emphasis on when you can use each principle to develop well-designed software.

You'll get an in-depth analysis of many common object-oriented design patterns that are more suitable to Python's unique style. This book will not just teach Python syntax, but will also build your confidence in how to program.

You will also learn how to create maintainable applications by studying higher level design patterns. Following this, you'll learn the complexities of string and file manipulation, and how Python distinguishes between binary and textual data. Not one, but two very powerful automated testing systems will be introduced in the book. After you discover the joy of unit testing and just how easy it can be, you'll study higher level libraries such as database connectors and GUI toolkits and learn how they uniquely apply object-oriented principles. You'll learn how these principles will allow you to make greater use of key members of the Python eco-system such as Django and Kivy

What You Will Learn

Implement objects in Python by creating classes and defining methods
Separate related objects into a taxonomy of classes and describe the properties and behaviors of those objects via the class interface
Extend class functionality using inheritance

A real book well worth the money

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 30, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a very good book with a lot of thoughts and efforts put into writing it. It doesn't bore you with all the elementary stuff that you can find in many other books. It gets right into the heart of the subject of each chapter at a reasonable depth so that you feel you have learned something without getting lost. When it deals with a subject, it not only tells you how things work but also why they work that way. It helped me gain a deeper understanding of the language. It also helped me think about how to structure my code. The examples and case studies are very broad in terms of practical coverage and they themselves are good learning materials as well. This is a real book well worth the money, unlike some other books out there which in some cases are simply copy and paste from different sources.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

There are a few issues with the code samples provided with the book that will hopefully be sorted out in the next edition, if there will be one. Although I find it a fantastic introduction to object oriented programming concepts in general (very easy to follow and provides well thought out examples along with good principles), I can't get over how the author seems so self-involved. There are constant references to his blue eyes and "penchant for writing" throughout the chapters; reading the page-long foreword will definitely give the reader an idea of this. I didn't want or purchase a personal ad for some blue-eyed guy and his love of writing (self-help programming literature at that!); I bought a book to introduce myself to OOP principles and methods.

Relatively new to Python and ready for OOP? Get this book.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was at first uncertain whether investing in a Python OOP book resource would be worth the money given the vast quantity of free resources online. I'm glad I did! I have roughly one year of programming experience (less than that in Python) and this book is very digestible, even for beginners. The book is very straight forward and built around examples which helps in giving perspective to OOP concepts covered throughout the book. If you're new to Python I would definitely recommend this book once you're ready to tackle OOP. Definitely keep it around as a reference once you've finished going through it.

Great book for learning Python

I implemented almost all the author’s example on a Microsoft Visual Studio platform with minimum issues. Some of the examples need some modification for this platform, but nothing major. I found the book easy to read and understand. This is the best Python Object-Oriented book I have found todate.

Best book to learn both OOP and the python language

I now have read half of the book. It is the first book makes me truly understand what object orientated programming really means.

The book is really well written. No trivial things. All the key points are elaborated naturally and are making a lot of sense.

Great book but Kindle Graphics way too small

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 2, 2019

Graphics way too small in Kindle edition.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2015

"the context and prose in this book is just childish and ridiculous.

This book feels like it is really more about an author who wanted to indulge in a writing assignment rather than conveying technical information in an easily digestible way" -- the 1 star review for previous edition

it is worse in 2nd edition

i believe that all the 4/5 star review is from the author's friends, or publisher

i found no good example/analog in this book, none, 0, nothing

below i'll mimic the author's writing style

yes, this is book review, but before i start my review, let's look at how i write review. if you read this review, of course you are, however, well, if you already know how i write this review which is by typing on my desktop computer on my daily working desk (by the way, look, i'm so cute ), that you already know what review is, and you already know review is important. i write review by press keyboard on my computer, which is a Mac with latest OS X.

reading a book is just like driving a car, you turn the wheel (page) and keep turning, until you finally there (the last page), i know this is bad example, but look, it is a example!

ok, in previous section, i give you an idea about how i write review, now you already know how i write my review which is about the Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming - Second edition, in this book, Python 3 Object-Oriented Programming - Second edition, the author use bad example with poorly explained what OOP is, and some for unlawful carnal knowledge, actually try to offend everyone and give you very bad impression about python. in short, my review, well, of course, this is my personal opinion, you may say WTF, IDKAIDC, simply put, is worthless.

Don't get the kindle version.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 15, 2016

Verified Purchase

A really excellent, easy to read and understand book.

I would rate it 5 stars, but I'm docking one for the kindle implementation. Sadly like so many code books, the kindle version isn't up to the challenge. As I say, not unique to this book, but white space and layout are crucial to python, and having the author's careful layout messed up by a lazy publisher really lets it down. I must admit my patience for this has run out. Clearly the publishers use an automated conversion process from the original manuscript and then don't proof read it. It's sad but those pirated scans of books in PDF actually put more effort in. E-books must be a cash cow for publishers as they don't actually have to print the book, just upload a file and collect the money, but here, again, they don't seem to have put the same effort into publishing the kindle version as the text version.

Speaking of the text version, it really is excellent. The intro says this book would suit all switching to python3 regardless of experience, but I think really you'll get the most out of it if you have just finished some intro to python and want to go further. If you are proficient in OOP in another language or a seasoned Python 2 developer, the simplistic language style that makes this book so marvellous to the uninitiated may well drive you round the bend on your search for the answers, but for those still learning afresh, the examples are clear and the analogies very strong.

A great wealth of pythonic information is covered very easily, including design patters, which was a nice bonus. I truly recommend this book to the intermediate python programmer who has just got comfortable with the basics and is looking to take the next steps. Not a beginners text however.

The Python Book that other books just do not reach < Carlsberg ad take off >

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

AWESOME BOOK once you can program simple tasks with Python! A MUST if your COURSE in PYTHON requires OOP.

Coming as an amateur programmer doing a university course where you are taught all about OOP/OOD in the context of the language Java, then moving on to solving problems using algorithms and the language Python! ( yes Open University YOU). The courses say no programming required! Instead I found myself with several Python beginners books, and half decent understanding of OOP in Java, and still NO idea of how Python implements an OOD!

In steps DUSTY PHILIPS. Mild mannered janitor by Day and super kung foo HONG-KONG Fooey super hero at all other times! < reference awesome cartoon>. This book is not for the beginner but if you can program using simple solutions and the odd function call or three, then this book gets you into the lingo of Object Oriented Programming easily and steadily.

Plus the support on the PACKT Publishing web site is a resource never to be missed.

THANK YOU DUSTY, THANK YOU PACKT PUBLISHING..

Slow in parts, but worth buying

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

If you are experienced with Python, or even other programming language, this book can seem frustratingly slow in many parts. However, for a thorough understanding of a subject, a good foundation is useful. This is why "idiot's guide books" are popular with savvy professionals eager to quickly advance their knowledge in new subject areas.

So, you may have to flick past some parts, but there is enough meat and substance in this book to make it worth buying.
