One by one analysis:

First Async Context Manager for example

class CalculatorClient:
    def __init__(self):
        self._is_active = False

    async def __aenter__(self):
        print("🔌 Connecting to calculator service...")
        self._is_active = True
        return self  # returns the 'client' itself

    async def __aexit__(self, exc_type, exc_val, exc_tb):
        print("💤 Disconnecting from calculator service...")
        self._is_active = False
        return False  # Don't suppress exceptions

Second, Dataclasses with Advanced Features: field(default_factory), for example

class BadExample:
    metadata = {}  # shared across all instances

from dataclasses import dataclass, field

@dataclass
class GoodExample:
    metadata: dict[str, str] = field(default_factory=dict)

Third, Enum with String Mixin, for example

  class OperationType(str, Enum):
      ADD = "add"
      SUBTRACT = "subtract"

Think of str as giving your enum a personality — it knows how to behave like a string when needed.

Thirteen, Dict Methods, get()

Fourteen, Observer Pattern is equivalent in understanding how hooks or extensibility work.

Continue on 19. The assert statement is used to verify the validity of a given condition; if the condition fails, it throws an error, which is a common practice in testing. It is important to distinguish assert from eval, which executes a small snippet of code, while exec is capable of executing larger blocks of code. Both eval and exec pose significant risks; therefore, one must exercise caution when utilizing these functions.
