Most Python projects degrade into unmaintainable spaghetti because of tight coupling and import overload. Discover how to use ABCs, Protocols, and functional partial application to create a resilient architecture that separates implementation from logic.
In the evolution of Python software design, the choice between Abstract Base Classes and Protocols defines how your modules communicate. While ABCs offer the safety of strict inheritance, they often lead to rigid, highly-coupled systems that are difficult to refactor. Protocols introduce a more flexible, structural approach that allows you to satisfy interfaces without formal declarations, but this freedom comes with hidden trade-offs in error detection and code reusability.
