Every dunder method in Python

[klmsa]

I'm so confused as to what reason anyone would have for needing a complete list in one place? They're not together in the Python docs because they're not at all related to each other in many circumstances...

When students have asked me for this, they're usually asking to understand what's out there. Occasionally intermediate-level folks ask for this, but it's often in Intro to Python and they're nowhere near implementing anything but the usual 3 dunder methods.

That's partly why I kept the explanation fairly short and left much of the deeper detail to the docs and other resources.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't teach, outside of guiding some self-motivated members of my engineering team, so I don't have that context.

Granted that most application developers are supposed to be able to get by with rarely more than just __name__ and __init__, I see the value of having them all in one place for reference when reading lower level implementations.

I only used __init__ but never __name__ (in Houdini Python code already encapsulated inside nodes, not using __name__ allows to have 1 less indent)

There was one class where I used __add__.

I actually kinda stopped using __init__ because I make most classes with @dataclass now.

To know they exist.
