Mediator Design Pattern in Python

"""
Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact.
Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to
each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction
independently.
"""


class Mediator:
    """
    Implement cooperative behavior by coordinating Colleague objects.
    Know and maintains its colleagues.
    """

    def __init__(self):
        self._colleague_1 = Colleague1(self)
        self._colleague_2 = Colleague2(self)


class Colleague1:
    """
    Know its Mediator object.
    Communicate with its mediator whenever it would have otherwise
    communicated with another colleague.
    """

    def __init__(self, mediator):
        self._mediator = mediator


class Colleague2:
    """
    Know its Mediator object.
    Communicate with its mediator whenever it would have otherwise
    communicated with another colleague.
    """

    def __init__(self, mediator):
        self._mediator = mediator


def main():
    mediator = Mediator()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
