Objects and classes in Python (and JavaScript)
summary
Covers concrete patterns for Python and JavaScript object design with runnable code on USB memory sticks and downloadable examples. Implements a str subclass with line numbers for file iteration, re-creates Python properties by passing four functions and shows the decorator form as property built from functions, demonstrates converting a class into tuple form and back so classes are class-to-tuple unpack/repack constructible, explores decorators that transform or block methods, touches slots and __exit__ usage, and runs live demos that work and are available after the session.
