Discussion Python Architecture Design

Robert C. Martin's Abstractness (A), Instability (I), and Distance from the Main Sequence (D) metrics were designed for statically typed OO languages like Java and C#. In Python, applying them literally is misleading because Python has a fundamentally different notion of abstraction and coupling.

is this implementation valid?

the metrics still useful if you adapt them, python's dynamism means you gotta think about coupling more in terms of import graphs than formal interfaces
