Implementing the Composition Pattern in Python: Redirecting Methods of a Contained Class In object-oriented programming, inheritance is often used to create a new class that inherits behavior from an existing class. However, when working with complex objects and dependencies, inheritance can be limiting. One alternative approach is the composition pattern, which involves creating a container class that holds or manages other classes or objects. Background The problem presented in the Stack Overflow question revolves around the composition pattern in Python.
