7. Advanced Topics

In this section, we look at a small set of somewhat more advanced Python features that you might encounter in your day-to-day coding. Many of these topics could have been covered in earlier course sections, but weren't in order to spare you further head-explosion at the time.

It should be emphasized that the topics in this section are only meant to serve as a very basic introduction to these ideas. You will need to seek more advanced material to fill out details.

• 7.1 Variable argument functions
• 7.2 Anonymous functions and lambda
• 7.3 Returning function and closures
• 7.4 Function decorators
• 7.5 Static and class methods
