Building Robust Object-Oriented Python Applications and Libraries

Solution: Construct a Library Management System

Explore how to construct a complete library management system in Python by implementing abstract base classes, concrete classes for books and magazines, searchable protocols, and user interfaces. Understand key object-oriented concepts like inheritance, method overloading, and custom search functionality while building practical applications.

We'll cover the following...

You must have implemented the various approaches to develop the solution to the challenge given in the previous lesson. Let’s discuss how we can build a complete coded solution for the given to-do application step by step:

Create an abstract base class

Define an abstract base class called LibraryItem with an abstract method check_availability().

Let’s have a look at the code below:

Python 3.10.4
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
class LibraryItem(ABC):
  @abstractmethod
  def check_availability(self) -> bool:
    pass

Implement the Book
