   What is the Repository Pattern and How to Use it in Python?

   The repository pattern helps separate business logic from data access code by providing a unified interface for interacting with different data sources. It enhances flexibility, maintainability, and decoupling in a system. This post includes a practical Python example using `sqlmodel` and demonstrates how to implement repository interfaces for SQLite and CSV storage backends.
