Python Data Model

• Basic Mantra of Python Everything in Python is an Object
• Think of Python Data Model as description of Python as a framework
• Python interpreter invokes special methods (dunder) methods to perform basic object operations
• Lets use two special methods (dunder) dunder getitem and dunder len __getitem__ and __len__ to implement Card deck Refer Here

import collections

Card = collections.namedtuple('Card',['rank', 'suit'])

class FrenchDeck:
    """
    This class will create a french deck
    """
    ranks = [str(n) for n in range(2,11)] + list('JQKA')
    suits = 'spades diamonds clubs hearts'.split()

    def __init__(self):
        """
        Initializing the french deck
        """
        self._cards = [ Card(rank, suit) for suit in self.suits for rank in self.ranks]

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self._cards)
    
    def __getitem__(self, position):
        return self._cards[position]
