The adapter design pattern enables a handshake between two incompatible interfaces. Here, the incompatible interface of a class or a library is transformed into the one expected by your client code. This transformation is accomplished by an adapter class. The other class with a different interface than what the client expects is often referred to as an adaptee.
There are two broad categories of adapter pattern, namely a class adapter pattern and an object adapter pattern. In the former, the adapter inherits from the adaptee. It is possible to implement a class adapter in Python, as the language supports multiple inheritance. However, it is better to choose object composition (has a relationship) over inheritance. In the object adapter pattern, the adapter object has an adaptee object instead of inheriting from the adaptee class. The object adapter pattern helps maintain a loose coupling between the adaptee and the client code, wherein the client does not need to have any knowledge...
