A curated guide to Raymond Hettinger's best talks on Python object-oriented programming. Covers five key talks: 'The Art of Subclassing' (operational view of inheritance), 'Python's Class Development Toolkit' (instance/class variables, properties, slots), 'Super considered super!' (cooperative multiple inheritance and MRO), 'OOP from scratch four times' (why objects exist), and 'Beyond PEP 8' (Pythonic API design). Each talk is summarized with key takeaways to help developers rethink inheritance, use super() correctly, and write idiomatic Python classes.
