Steven F. Lott

Steven Lott has been programming since computers were large, expensive, and rare. Working for decades in high tech has given him exposure to a lot of ideas and techniques, some bad, but most are helpful to others. Since the 1990s, Steven has been engaged with Python, crafting an array of indispensable tools and applications. His profound expertise has led him to contribute significantly to Packt Publishing, penning notable titles like "Mastering Object-Oriented," "The Modern Python Cookbook," and "Functional Python Programming." A self-proclaimed technomad, Steven's unconventional lifestyle sees him residing on a boat, often anchored along the vibrant east coast of the US. He tries to live by the words “Don't come home until you have a story.”

3.2 Architectural approach

We’ll take some guidance from the C4 model ( https://c4model.com) when looking at our approach.

  • Context: For this project, a context diagram would show a user extracting data from a source. You may find it helpful to draw this diagram.

  • Containers: This project will run on the user’s personal computer. As with the context, the diagram is small, but some readers may find it helpful to take the time to draw it.

  • Components: We’ll address these below.

  • Code: We’ll touch on this to provide some suggested directions.

We can decompose the software architecture into these two important components:

  • model: This module has definitions of target objects. In this project, there’s only a single class here.

  • extract: This module will read the source document and creates model objects.

Additionally, there will need to be these additional functions:

  • A function for parsing the command-line options.

  • A main() function to parse options and do...
