Python classes, object instances, methods, and the self parameter in Python
An introduction to the basic Object Oriented Programming concepts in Python. We start from the definition of a class, which is a kind of template for creating objects. We introduce methods and attributes, and the "self" parameter. We then show how to create instances of the class. We also clarify the meaning of the object-dot-method syntax and its relation to the self parameter. Check out the notebooks linked below for more information on OOP in Python.
