you should fit at least one of the following descriptions: * A Python beginner without any knowledge of OOP languages. * A Python beginner with knowledge of other OOP languages such as C++, Java, Ruby, etc. * A Python advanced user who has some knowledge about Python OOP but now wants to know what happens “behind the scenes”. Python experts: you shouldn't be here. You are going to be bored. No, seriously.
of OOP concepts. Covers the following topics * Objects and types * Classes and members * Delegation * Polymorphism * Metaclasses This tutorial covers Python 3. Almost all concepts are valid for Python 2, when relevant differences will be highlighted. Source posts: http://lgiordani.com/blog/categories/python3/
