ðð©ðð® ðð£ ð©ðð ð¡ð€ð€ð¥ ðððððððððð: snu.socratica.com/python Socratica Friends, we have a quiet little email group for Python if you'd like to receive updates (can't count on YT for notifications). Sign up here: snu.socratica.com/python
In Python, special methods are those "odd looking" methods that start and end with underscores. They let you override operators, intercept the setting and getting of attributes, customize object serialization, and much more. In this lesson we talk about the idea behind special methods and attributes, how to implement them, and give many examples along the way!
Some of the special methods & attributes we will cover include:
__init__
__doc__
__setattr__
__str__
__getattr__
__getattribute__
We were able to bring you this video thanks to our generous Kickstarter backers! Find their names hidden (okay, not very hidden) in the video!
