Organizing object-oriented code in Python
Python makes it easy to logically organize object-oriented code with modules. We will work with a hierarchy of folders to organize the code of an application that allows you to create and furnish house floor plans. Then, we will use code from different folders and the source files of Python.
Working with source files organized in folders
We will create the following six folders to organize the code in our house floor plan layout application. Then, we will add subfolders and the source files of Python to each of the previously created folders:
BuildDecorateFurnishGeneralLandscapeOutdoor
We will include all the base classes in the general folder. The following lines show the code for the general/floor_plan_element.py Python source file that declares a FloorPlanElement base class. We will use this class as the superclass for all the classes that specialize the floor plan element:
class FloorPlanElement:
category = "Undefined"
