Subclassing in Python Redux
Have you ever heard someone say that composition is better than inheritance? It’s an age-old conflict in object-oriented programming that’s been the impetus for numerous online debates. Author Hynek Schlawack, who describes himself as “firmly in the composition-over-inheritance camp” explains in this article how “Python is designed in a way that you can’t write idiomatic code without subclassing sometimes.”

Tkinter… Not Bad
Tkinter. Sometimes it seems like you either love it or hate it. While Tkinter doesn’t check all the boxes for every GUI, it definitely has its use cases.
