Description

Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in the superclass but lets subclasses override specific steps of the algorithm without changing its structure.

Where to use

• Data analysis pipelines.
\n
• Build scripts.

Real World Example

A Data Miner. Steps: openFile() -> extractData() -> userMethod() -> closeFile(). Subclasses only implement extractData().

Code Example

class TemplateMethod:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def execute(self):
        print('Executing Template Method')
