A Guide to Python's Secret Superpower: Magic Methods

Python magic methods (dunder methods) allow developers to customize class behavior by hooking into Python's built-in operations. Covered topics include: class lifecycle methods like __init__ and __del__, property management with __getattr__, __getattribute__, __setattr__, __delattr__, and their item-based counterparts (__getitem__, __setitem__, __delitem__), operator overloading for math and comparison symbols, type casting customization, and making classes iterable with __iter__ and __contains__. Each concept is illustrated with practical code examples.
