In this chapter, we will look at Python collection objects, which take the regular, built-in Python containers (list, tuple, dictionary, and set being the most common) and add special functionality for particular situations. We will cover:
- Reviewing containers
- Implementing namedtuple
- Implementing deque
- Implementing ChainMap
- Implementing Counters
- Implementing OrderedDict
- Implementing defaultdict
- Implementing UserDict
- Implementing UserList
- Implementing UserString
- Improving Python collections
