Python Has a Hidden Contract — And It Changes Everything
Most Python developers use len(), indexing, and for loops
every day — without knowing what's actually happening underneath.
In this episode, we go deep.
You'll learn:
→ What the Python Data Model is — and why it changes everything
→ How CPython actually handles len() at the C level
→ Why two methods can unlock six features for free
→ The difference between a Pythonic class and a foreign one
→ What Protocols and Duck Typing really mean
We build a complete French Deck from scratch — and use it to
see the Data Model in action.
