This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course.
In this course, you'll explore the Python data model, learning about the core protocols Python uses to enable iteration, context management, string representation, and much more. With practical demonstrations, you will understand the inner workings of custom classes and how Python handles object behavior like iteration, comparison, and operator overloading.
Through the modules, you’ll dive deep into creating and managing custom objects, learning how to use special methods for object representation, deletion, and much more. This journey will guide you through powerful tools such as context managers, serialization, and implementing custom container-like behavior.
This course is ideal for intermediate Python developers who want to level up their skills. You should have a basic understanding of Python and object-oriented programming.
By the end of the course, you will be able to implement custom object behaviors using the Python data model, enhance your code with advanced features, and understand how to use Python's built-in protocols to build more efficient programs.
In this module, we will explore the essential building blocks of Python's data model, focusing on object creation, initialization, and how to represent objects in custom ways. You’ll also learn to control object deletion behavior using the __del__ method. These foundational skills will help you cre…
In this module, we will dive into how custom objects can behave like built-in containers, such as lists or dictionaries. You'll learn to make your objects iterable and give them the ability to store and manipulate items like a dictionary. This module will expand your Python class design skills by i…
In this module, we will cover how to make custom objects comparable, enabling equality checks and Boolean evaluations. You'll also learn how to define the ordering of objects, allowing them to be compared using greater than, less than, and equality operators. These comparisons make your objects mor…
In this module, we will focus on enabling custom objects to perform arithmetic and bitwise operations. You’ll learn how to override operators like addition and subtraction to work with your own types. Additionally, we’ll explore customizing operations like modulo, powers, and bit-shifting, bringing…
In this module, we will explore how to control and manipulate object attributes. You’ll learn how to intercept and customize the behavior when reading, setting, and deleting attributes. Additionally, we will cover descriptors and the property decorator, which allows you to add custom logic to your…
In this module, we will explore how to make custom objects behave like functions. By using the __call__ method, you can turn your objects into callable entities, enabling dynamic and flexible design patterns. This skill is useful for when your objects need to function as both data structures and fu…
In this module, we will focus on using context managers in Python. You will learn how to define custom context managers using __enter__ and __exit__ to manage resources such as file handles or database connections. This will help you write cleaner, more efficient code for managing resources with au…
In this module, we will cover the advanced topic of object serialization. You’ll learn how to copy objects effectively and explore the differences between shallow and deep copies. Additionally, you will learn how to use the pickle module to save and load objects, customizing the serialization proce…
