This post explains how to use classes in Python. Including: how to use static and private methods, constructors, and more!

In Python, everything is an object, including classes. Therefore, just as you can create an instance of a class, you can also create a class using another class.

You might be tempted to use a class because you’re constantly calling a function with the same arguments. In most cases, it’s a better idea to use functools.partial () instead.

If you need an explicit self hint for the class that refers to whatever class is in context, and you’re using Python 3.11 or later, you can import Self from the typing module and use that as a hint.

You're taking a new programming class this fall, and you don't know anything about code. Python is taught widely in schools, and it's one of the most loved programming languages because it's simple.
