Factory Method Design Pattern in Python

"""
Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide
which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer
instantiation to subclasses.
"""

    Declare the factory method, which returns an object of type Product.
    Creator may also define a default implementation of the factory
    method that returns a default ConcreteProduct object.
    Call the factory method to create a Product object.
