Python Object Orientation

Hi,

when writing object oriented python, is it best to use a new file for every object and then put similar classes into these files? Or is there another approach?

Also, can object also be "action" for example when creating a user database, would create_user be put in a separate file such as create.py, which then has class create_user, class modify_user, etc.?

Thanks!

Shezan;

I think you have the right idea there, yes. To use your example one would typically create a user.py which would have the User class definition in it. Inside that class would be necessary methods that would impact a "User", like create, update, delete, etc.

Happy coding,
Ken
