Why You Should Think About SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE in Python ?

In this video, I talk about software architecture, what it is, and how it relates to writing code and software design. As an example, I show you how to implement a Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture in Python and discuss a few other software architectures as well.
