Implementing the Composite Design Pattern in Python
The Composite Design Pattern is a powerful tool for treating collections and their individual elements uniformly. It's especially useful for tree-like data structures, such as file systems, cloud stack resources, or any system composed of smaller parts.
In this talk, I will demonstrate a generic implementation of this pattern in Python, showcasing a practical use case where it proved indispensable. This implementation serves as a great introduction to advanced Python metaprogramming. The presentation is based on my Medium article: Generic Composite in Python and my talk at the Pyjamas 2022 conference.
It might be longer if there is interest in Python metaprogramming. We also can connect the discussion of Design Patterns to the current LLM and co-pilots hype.
