Decorators

File: decorators.py

Decorators are a powerful feature in Python that allows you to modify the behavior of a function or class method. They are essentially functions that wrap another function, modifying or extending its behavior without changing its actual code.

Key Points:

• Iterators: Objects that implement the __iter__() and __next__() methods. They allow you to iterate through a sequence of values.

• Generators: A simpler way to create iterators using functions with yield statements. They generate values on-the-fly and are memory efficient.

• Syntax: Decorators are applied using the @decorator_name syntax above a function definition.

• Use Cases: Common uses include logging, access control, instrumentation, and caching.

File: context_managers.py

Context managers are used to manage resources, such as file streams, network connections, or database connections, ensuring they are properly cleaned up after use. They help avoid resource leaks by automatically handling setup and teardown.

Key Points:

• Syntax: Context managers are commonly used with the with statement.

• Custom Context Managers: You can create custom context managers using classes with __enter__() and __exit__() methods or by using the contextlib module.
