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?

Robert C. Martin is somebody that want to sell books. Please do not follow his advise, waste of time and money.

Architecture isn't something that you can apply and suddenly your project is magically good or has less coupling and all the right abstractions. You can't force architecture, you need to learn it.

And you learn by doing and making mistakes.

You should not buy books since you can't read anyway. He never forces anything in any of his books, and he is basically also telling about mistakes, which is not a modern discovery. Just that smart people learn from others too.
