Advanced Metaphors in Coding with Python
summary
Compressed, code-first walkthrough of how Python features actually get used: concrete demos of metaclass hooks including the build_class hook and how ABCMeta enforces methods, the newer init_subclass (Python 3.6) alternative, practical decorator patterns, and a worked generator-to-context-manager pattern that creates and drops a temp table. Shows send/throw for exceptions, ties generators to sequencing and laziness vs eagerness, and mentions coroutine libraries like curio and Trio — useful if needing runtime hooks or enforcing class/user constraints.
