Should be a good exercise, and not just for gurus ;}. > book into Python examples, or write a similar book in Python, perhaps I've also wished for a design patterns book aimed at Python, or at least dynamic languages with first class functions and modules. There's a paper Python book with "Patterns" in the title, but it has precious little content in it related to design patterns, at least not the GOF variety. This web book has the word "Patterns" in it, too: http://www.brpreiss.com/books/opus7/ But looks like it's mainly data structures. If you do a google search, and also search the Python Cookbook http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Python/Cookbook/ you can find examples of: Singleton Borg Null Factory Observer (including a Publish/Subscribe recipe) Memento State Decorator Masquerading and Adaptation patterns (Alex Martelli paper) Template (another Alex Martelli paper) Chain of Responsibility Proxy Prototype There must be good examples in actual source code out there, too. > called "Head First Design Patterns in Python".

I must have adult ADD, because I do enjoy the Head First format, though I disdained it at first. > P.S. I am not sure is this the right news group to post this request. Yup, this is the place.
