Part VI. Classes and OOP
In Part VI, we study the basics of
object-oriented programming (OOP), as well as
the code you write to use OOP in Python—the
class
statement. As you’ll see,
OOP is an option in Python, but a good one: no other construct in the
language supports code reuse to the degree that the
class
statement does. Especially in larger
programs, OOP’s notion of programming by
customizing is a powerful paradigm to apply, and
can cut development time substantially when used well.
