Write Python code that’s easier to change, test, and extend.
You already know how to write classes. Now learn how to decide what belongs in them, how they should collaborate, and how to handle changing requirements.
Object Oriented Design walks you through 15 guided exercises that connect everyday Python features with practical design decisions. You’ll work through focused problems, then bring the pieces together in Lighthouse Trail, an extensible board game engine for two to four players.
- Choose between composition and inheritance, and give each object a clear responsibility.
- Build useful interfaces with properties, alternative constructors, abstract classes, and small mixins.
- Apply Strategy, Factory, and Observer to replace behavior, create objects, and communicate changes.
- Model state transitions and use Command to support history, undo, and redo.
- Connect existing code through adapters and make dependencies explicit with manual dependency injection.
- Use SOLID principles to refactor a class that has taken on too much work.
Each exercise starts with a concrete problem and a design before the code. Guided implementation, explanations, tests, edge cases, common mistakes, and an extension challenge help you understand why the solution works.
In the final project, you’ll combine turn management, interchangeable scoring rules, event notifications, and move undo into a working game engine. The book also includes solutions, further extensions, a glossary, and references to the official Python documentation.
Designed for readers comfortable with functions, collections, control flow, and basic classes, this book uses Python 3.12 or later and the standard library. It is Book 2 in Intermediate Python in Practice and can be studied on its own.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
