Python Demo: Making a List of Data-Class Objects From CSV File

In this video we look at Python code that uses the dataclass module to establish a template for making objects corresponding to Hockey Players. The code demonstrates both instance and static methods. It uses the re (regular expression) module to eliminate undesired characters -- using sub() -- and parse some data into parts -- using split(). The class add the code

if __name__ == "__main__"

to determine if the user is attempting to run the class code. A separate file imports the above class as well as the re and csv modules. It reads and parses a csv data file containing data on a roster of Hockey Players.
