This video covers how the bridge pattern works and why it's useful. To spice things up, I'm going to deviate from the classic definition of the pattern from the Gang-of-four book (which is already quite powerful) and show you a couple of things you can do in Python to shorten the code and at the same time allow for extra flexibility.
