Example code from [Head First Design Patterns second edition](https://www.wickedlysmart.com/head-first-design-patterns/) translated to python to help me understand and memorise the patterns.
I have added examples of pattern usage in the Python standard library and pypi - I am starting to see patterns everywhere!
> **Note**
-> I am aiming for a reasonably literal translation whilst trying to make the code a little more pythonic by, e.g. using python conventions for `ClassNames` and `method_names` and putting all of the code in a single file where it makes sense to do so.

+## Factory Method
+
+> Defines an interface for creating an object, but lets subclasses decide which class to
> instantiate. The Factory method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses.
For instance the `PizzaStore` abstract class in this repo provides an abstract `create_pizza` interface for creating one
product.
+### Pythonic Examples
+
The [python-qrcode](https://github.com/dancergraham/python-qrcode) module uses the factory method pattern nicely to
separate only the part of the code that changes (generating png, svg, etc.) from the underlying logic of the code
generation and to allow extension through the creation of new factory methods without modification of the existing code.
I took advantage of this to add a new class for the creation of 3D QR codes with my favourite NURBS modelling software
-Rhino.
+Rhino - it was super simple once I understood the pattern.
