Class Customization and Better Code
This talk aims to demonstrate how the class customization features of the programming language Python can be used to write better code. We will do this by looking at some code that solves cubic equations and we will see how difficult this code is to design and test. Then we will solve these problems by using Python's class customization features to implement a "calculation on demand" mechanism.
