Shows how to create static factory methods and private constructors in Python using decorators.
Static factory methods are a great possibility to create instances of a class in a more controlled and verbose way. To implement this pattern, a private constructor is required. By construction, hiding the constructor is not possible in Python. Thus, this repository shows an alternative to achieve a "private-like" behavior for Python constructors and to efficiently create factory methods - both using Python decorators.
