How to Lazy Load an Expensive Attribute with a Proxy in Python
This code shows a Proxy class that lazily loads an ExpensiveResource only when first accessed, caching it for subsequent uses.
class ExpensiveResource:
def __init__(self, name):
self.name = name
print(f"Expensive resource '{name}' created (e.g., DB connection)")
def use(self):
return f"Using {self.name}"
class Proxy:
def __init__(self, name):
self._name = name
self._resource = None
@p…How to Implement CQRS with Separate Read and Write Models in Python
Implements Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) by splitting data into separate write and read models with dedicated repositories, using dataclasses for structure.
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import List, Dict, Optional
@dataclass
class OrderWriteModel:
order_id: int
customer: str
items: List[str] = field(default_factory=list)
def add_item(self, item: str) -> None:
self.items.append(item)
@dataclass

…How to Implement a Simple MVVM Binding Mock in Python
A minimal Python implementation of the MVVM pattern, mocking data binding so views auto-update when the view model changes.
class BindingMock:
def __init__(self, view_model):
self.view_model = view_model
self.subscribers = []
def bind(self, property_name, callback):
self.subscribers.append((property_name, callback))
def set(self, property_name, value):
setattr(self.view_model, property_name, va…Browse by section
