D: Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) Depend on abstractions, not concretions. High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Deep Dive Issue: Python's dynamic imports and global singletons (e.g., requests.get , open ) often hard-code dependencies, making unit testing impossible. Python 3- Deep Dive -Part 4 - OOP-
