What is a good way to add isolated, reusable functionality to Python classes? Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week, bringing another batch of PyCoder’s Weekly articles and projects.

Christopher covers a recent Real Python tutorial about developing mixin classes to reuse code across multiple Python classes. He describes how mixins rely on multiple inheritance to combine features from different classes, enhancing flexibility and code reuse.

We also share several other articles and projects from the Python community, including a news roundup, highlights from the 2024 Python Developers Survey, reasons you might not need a Python class, an exploration of asyncio’s sharp corners, an explanation of how JIT builds of CPython work, a web-based GUI library, and a project for quickly querying Python lists.
