Python Mastery

Welcome to Python Mastery, a comprehensive project designed to systematically review and master Python's capabilities.

Project Mission

This project serves as a structured review of Python abilities and acts as a strategic gate to AI Engineering. It bridges the gap between core programming excellence and the specialized requirements of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Core Patterns

• Singleton Pattern: singleton_pattern_demo.py - Ensuring single instances for loggers/configs.
• Factory Pattern: factory_pattern_demo.py - Object creation abstraction.
• Strategy Pattern: strategy_pattern_demo.py - Encapsulating interchangeable algorithms (e.g., discounts).
• Command Pattern: command_pattern_demo.py - Encapsulating requests as objects with undo support.
• Chain of Responsibility: chain_of_responsibility_demo.py - Passing requests along a chain of handlers.
• Adapter Pattern: adapter_pattern_demo.py - Bridging incompatible interfaces.
• Proxy Pattern: proxy_pattern_demo.py - Intercepting object access.
• Composite Pattern: composite_pattern_demo.py - Tree structures and part-whole hierarchies.

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Pytest: test_pytest_demo.py - Demonstrating fixtures, parametrization, exception testing, and mocking for robust code verification.
