QUESTION
I am currently reading through Luciano Ramalho's excellent book Fluent Python. In a chapter about interfaces and inheritance we build a subclass of a list (see github for the original code) and I am confused about the way we define one of the instance methods. For a simlified example my confusion is caused by a situation as follows:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-02 at 05:31It's actually not inheriting from superclass (list), but creating reference to list.extend
method
When you inspect their identity, you will see that they are same objects in memory.
QUESTION
In Luciano Ramalho's Fluent Python, an iterable is defined as an object in which the __iter__
method is implemented, with no additional characteristics.
I am currently working out a tutorial for laymen in which I am trying to chunk the core concepts of Python to make programming more manageable for newcomers.
I find it easier to explain iterables and their utility for these people when I associate these objects with the concept of "size" (thus also length
). By saying that "iterables are objects that have length" and thus tying in with the len
function, I am able to naturally evolve the concept of loops and iteration with commonly used types such as the Standard Library list
, dict
, tuple
, str
, as well as numpy.ndarray
, pandas.Series
and pandas.DataFrame
.
However, since now I know about the sole necessity for the __iter__
method, there can be cases where the analogy with len
fails. Ramalho even provides an impromptu example in his book:

...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Sep-11 at 15:58What happens if you call total
more than once? If self.cart
hasn't changed, then you're needlessly recalculating the total, a potentially expensive operation.
You're checking if you've already stored the value. If you haven't you calculate it, but if you have you simply return the stored value without recalculating.
As an aside, I would expect name mangling to make your life difficult here because of the double underscore at the beginning of __total
. You may want to consider switching to a single underscore.

Install FluentPython
You can use FluentPython like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
