Python Object

Transcript

1. Stephen Finucane Software Developer, OpenStack Team Intel Shannon

2. What is Object Orientated design, and why do we care?

   What is an object?

3. Know Java, and know Python is not Java These slides

   compare the two, assuming Java knowledge for fair comparison. Don’t try to write Python like Java, though.
4. None

5. class MyClass(object): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): pass def do_stuff(self): print('doing

   stuff') >> instance = MyClass() >> instance.do_stuff() doing stuff classes.py: An example of classes in Python

6. class MyClass(object): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): pass def do_stuff(self): print('doing

   stuff')

7. object is Python being explicit You don’t need it in

   Python 2, but you should use it to get “new style classes”

8. self is also Python being explicit Think of it like

   the ‘this’ keyword in Java

9. public class MyClass { String name; ... public void setName(String

   name) { this.name = name; } } MyClass.java: The ‘this’ keyword

10. class MyClass(object): name = None ... def set_name(self, name): self.name

    = name self._example.py: The ‘self’ keyword
11. None

12. public class MyClass { public MyClass(String name) { ... }

    public MyClass(String name, int age) { ... } } MyClass.java: Constructors in Java

13. class MyClass(object): def __init__(name, age=None): ... constructors.py: Constructors in Python

14. public class MyClass { public void display() { System.out.println("Hello, world!");

    } } public class MySubClass extends MyClass { public void display() { System.out.println("Testing 123"); } } MyClass.java, MySubClass.java: Inheritance in Java

15. class MyClass(object) { def display(self): print('Hello world') class MySubClass(MyClass): def

    display(self): print('Testing 123') constructors.py: Constructors in Python

16. public class MySubClass extends MyClass { public void display() {

    super.display(); System.out.println("Testing 123"); } } MyClass.java, MySubClass.java: Inheritance in Java

17. class MySubClass(MyClass): def display(self): super(MySubClass, self).display(self) print('Testing 123') superclasses.py: Accessing

    the Super Class
18. None

19. public interface Animal { public void eat(); public void travel();

    } public class Mammal implements Animal { public void eat() { System.out.println("Mammal eats"); ... Animal.java, Mammal.java: Interfaces in Java

20. class Mammal: def eat(self): print('Mammal eats') ... class Reptile: def

    eat(self): print('Reptile eats') ... animals.py: Duck Typing in Python
21. None

22. >> stephens_boat = Boat(...) >> ankurs_boat = Boat(...) >> stephens_boat

    > ankurs_boat True The data model in practice

23. class Boat(object): """Model a boat.""" length = 0 color =

    None def __init__(self, length, color): ... def __gt__(self, other): return self.length > other.length: boat.py: Using the data model

24. __lt__ - less than __le__ - less than or equal

    __eq__ - equal __ne__ - not equal __gt__ - greater than __ge__ - greater than or equal __cmp__ - fallback, if above not implemented boat.py: Using the data model

25. >>> stephens_boat = Boat(100, 'red') >>> stephens_boat.__doc__ Model a boat.

    >>> stephens_boat.__dict__ {'color': 'red', 'length': 100} >>> stephens_boat.__class__ <class '__main__.Boat'> The data model in practice
26. None

27. class Person(object): weight_kg = 0 @property def weight_lb(self): return self.weight_kg

    * 2.2 @weight_lb.setter def weight_lb(self, value): self.weight_kg = value / 2.2 boat.py: Using the data model
28. None
