Bridge Design Pattern in Python

"""
Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary
independently.

    Define the interface for implementation classes. This interface
    doesn't have to correspond exactly to Abstraction's interface; in
    fact the two interfaces can be quite different. Typically the
    Implementor interface provides only primitive operations, and
    Abstraction defines higher-level operations based on these
    primitives.
