To write clean, efficient, and maintainable code, developers worldwide rely on design patterns. Now, there is a Python-specific patterns guide that is friendly and practical enough for every Python developer, regardless of experience.

Best-selling patterns author James W. Cooper presents visual, example-driven explanations of 23 proven patterns for writing superior object-oriented code. Through clear and intuitive code samples, he introduces modern techniques for creating Python objects that interact effectively in powerful, flexible programs. Python newcomers, including those moving from other languages, will find a succinct introduction designed to get them up to speed fast.

Cooper's wide-ranging patterns coverage addresses abstract classes, multiple inheritance, GUI programming and widgets, graphical classes, drawing and plotting, math, databases, Python decorators, images, threads, iterators, creating executable code, and more. Throughout, his informal visual presentation makes patterns far easier to work with, so you can confidently build sophisticated programs that use Python's rich capabilities.
