Python is an object-oriented language, meaning that nearly everything in the language is an object. You can (and are encouraged to) create your own classes. But what are the best ways to create classes?  And what tools does Python provide for us to create classes as easily and well as possible?  In this talk, Raymond Hettinger shows us how to create Python classes, starting with the basics and working up to testing and user feedback. Even if you have written many Python classes before, you’re likely to learn something from this talk.
