Subclassing and Composition - A Pythonic Tour of Trade-Offs - Hynek Schlawack - Variomedia AG, Software Engineer
Talk description:
Ever seen a code base where understanding a simple method meant jumping through tangled class hierarchies? We all have! And while "Favor composition over inheritance!" is almost as old as object-oriented programming, strictly avoiding all types of subclassing leads to verbose, un-Pythonic code. So, what to do?
The discussion on composition vs. inheritance is so frustrating because far-reaching design decisions like this can only be made with the ecosystem in mind - and because there's more than one type of subclassing!
Let's take a dogma-free stroll through the types of subclassing through a Pythonic lens and untangle some patterns and trade-offs together. By the end, you'll be more confident in deciding when subclassing will make your code more Pythonic and when composition will improve its clarity

This is legitimately very helpfuil

[@SuperOblivionfan]

Great talk!! Do you have any other resources or examples where inheritance/subclassing might be preferred over composition?
