Composition over Inheritance: How to Build a Wallet Account in Python
Demonstrates composition by wrapping a WalletAccount class in an AuditedWallet decorator-like class to add behavior without changing the original class.
class WalletAccount:

self.name = name
self.species = species
print(f"Animal init: {self.name}, {self.species}")
class Mammal(Animal):
def __init__(self, name, species, fur_color):
super().__init__(name, species)
self.fur_color = fur_color
