Expert Python Programming - Third Edition

Summary

In this chapter, we've explored the vast topic of metaprogramming in Python. We've described the syntax features that favor the various metaprogramming patterns in detail. These are mainly decorators and metaclasses.

We've also taken a look at another important aspect of metaprogramming, dynamic code generation. We described it only briefly as it is too vast to fit into the limited size of this book. However, it should be a good starting point that gives you a quick summary of the possible options in that field.

The next chapter will offer you a moment of rest as we focus on the topic of good naming practices.
