Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Defining a Class in Python
A class is a blue print of an object. Where the class is the blue print of the house, the object is the actual house built.
Similar to how function definitions begin with a 'def' keyword in Python, class definitions begin with a 'class' keyword.
class MyNewClass:
'''Docstring goes here. I have created a new class'''
pass
- Here we created a class named 'MyNewClass'. Notice we use the CapWords convention since PEP 8 Style Guide for Python Code recommends this for Class names.
- A docstring is not mandatory but highly recommended. It is written so programmers can understand what it does without having to read the details of the implementation.
- The 'pass' keyword is used in Python to indicate that the body of the class was intentionally left blank. This prevents an 'IndentationError' from occurring in the terminal.
