Section 1: Python, beyond the Basics

We start our journey by exploring different ways of using Python optimally, from both the design and the implementation points of view. We provide a deeper understanding of the life cycle of a large-scale Python project and its phases. Once we have that understanding, we investigate different ways of creating an elegant design by modularizing a Python project. Wherever necessary, we look under the hood to understand the internal workings of Python. This is followed by a deep dive into object-oriented programming in Python.

This section contains the following chapters:

• Chapter 1, Optimal Python Development Life Cycle
• Chapter 2, Using Modularization to Handle Complex Projects
• Chapter 3, Advanced Object-Oriented Python Programming
