Exploring type for dynamic objects
In this section, let’s explore the function named type from the perspective of dynamic object creation. Why do we need to create an object dynamically? Let’s consider the scenarios where we want to change the attributes of the class only for specific instances/objects of the class and not for the original class itself. In such scenarios, we can create dynamic objects for the class and define the attributes of the class dynamically within the specific dynamic object and not for the whole class itself.
In multiple chapters throughout this book, we have looked at the various uses of the type function. In this chapter, we will look at how to use type to dynamically create Python objects.
Let’s look at the graphical representation of the signature of the type function in Python in the following screenshot:

The type function accepts a self-object followed by a tuple...
