Special Methods || Python Tutorial || Learn Python Programming

In Python, special methods are those "odd looking" methods that start and end with underscores. They let you override operators, intercept the setting and getting of attributes, customize object serialization, and much more. In this lesson we talk about the idea behind special methods and attributes, how to implement them, and give many examples along the way!

Some of the special methods & attributes we will cover include:
__init__
__doc__
__setattr__
__str__
__getattr__
__getattribute__

Please don't stop python series, it's really awesome, ulka is an awesome instructor

[futureprogrammer]

Now that Ulka is back, my passion for Python and Programming is back.

[miladiouss]

I've been a Python developer for 6 years but I still enjoy watching these because she makes things more clear.

[elmoyou]

The level of subtle (and not so subtle) sarcasm in just the first minute made me almost roll off my chair. These videos have nothing new to learn for me, but they are so much worth watching nonetheless. Priceless.

[deepakpandit]

Now please dont stop this series. I am so much in love with python again

[absmustang]

I used to think I was a visual learner.
Now i know I'm a Socratica learner.

Thank you for these videos.

[yanoku]

Brilliant!
Your sense of humor, voice, coding environment and the way you are introducing this content is pretty impressive!
Hope to see new Python videos soon.

[varunnagrare]

Ulka is the main reason I followed Socratica! Please don't stop Python series!!

[cigdemylmaz]

This makes things much clearer for me. Ulka is a great instructor

[artemiasalina]

[aldock]

Well, your “Methods” for teaching python is really “Special”.

[olivierbegassat]

This series is excellent: funny, entertaining and pedagogically brilliant. You're doing an amazing job in this series (and others I imagine), thank you : ) !!!

[mrmuranga]

1.24 .."Because nobody got time for that", always a pleasure listening and learning through this channel

[PyTransformer]

Gotta love how concise yet comprehensive these tutorials are

[stefanobailey]

Oh my God. I did not realise these tutorials were back. So happy about this. I am a lot more experienced than I used to be, and am writing code for my job everyday. But I find these so entertaining

[pratyushkumarbiswal]

I have a huge respect for you mam....
I have learnt python from you.... 🙏🙏🙏

[AvielGergel]

We dont need any special "compare" methods, because we know for sure, that "Socraticas" videos are simply the best!!! Thank u for making things clear & interesting

[spinj]

You are an absolutely amazing teacher, thank you
