A must-read if you want to understand OO (MHO of course).
Yes, if only to see how many of the design patterns in C++ are not
applicable to Python ;)
s/not applicable/not needed/
Indeed, some of the canonical DP are kind of workaround the lack of
dynamism in C++ and Java. At least if you stop at the implementation
example. But remember they are *design* patterns, not implementation
patterns. The point is that some of these patterns are so "integrated"
in idiomatic Python you just don't see them no more - but still they are
here (iterator anyone ?)
But seriously, the Gang of Four book is the
classic book for design patterns. I agree that it is required
reading, but it probably requires a working knowledge of basic OO
design to get much out of it.
I'd say a minimal working knowledge of basic OO concepts (classes,
instances, attributes, methods, polymorphic dispatch and inheritance)
and UML notation (mostly class diagrams). Most of what there is to know
about OO *design* is what this book is about. Hint : don't jump to the
patterns section, start with a careful reading of the whole introduction.
At a more basic level a good UML primer (such as Page-Jones'
'Fundamentals of OO Design in UML') will get you thinking about OO
Design and is worth a look. If only to see how many of the Java-like
concepts are not applicable to Python.
Yeps. One of the problems with UML is that it's way too much C++/Java
centric.
Has anyone looked at, and have any opinions about, this rather
expensive tome? Goldwasser & Letcher 'Object-Oriented Programming in
Python'

From the readers reviews:
"""
The title is a little misleading unless you take it as a literal python
statement. It is true that there is object-oriented programming IN
python. It is also true that this book discusses object-oriented
programming IN python. But the book does little to discuss
object-oriented programming WITH python.
