# Python Architecture - Clean Architecture & Hexagonal

## Fundamental Principles

### Clean Architecture (Uncle Bob)

Clean architecture is based on several key principles:

1. **Framework Independence** - Business logic doesn't depend on frameworks
2. **Testability** - Business logic can be tested without UI, DB, web server
3. **UI Independence** - The UI can change without modifying business logic
4. **DB Independence** - Postgres, MongoDB, etc. are interchangeable
5. **External Service Independence** - Business logic doesn't know about the outside world

### Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters)

## Domain Layer - The Business Heart

### Entities

Entities are objects with a unique identity.

```python
# src/myproject/domain/entities/user.py
from __future__ import annotations

from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime
from typing import Optional
from uuid import UUID, uuid4

from myproject.domain.value_objects.email import Email
from myproject.domain.events.user_registered import UserRegistered


@dataclass
class User:
    """
    User entity representing a system user.

    An entity has a unique identity (id) that persists over time,
    even if its attributes change.
    """

    id: UUID = field(default_factory=uuid4)
    email: Email = field(default=None)
    name: str = field(default="")
    is_active: bool = field(default=True)
    created_at: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.utcnow)
    updated_at: Optional[datetime] = field(default=None)

    # Domain events (Event Sourcing pattern)
    _events: list = field(default_factory=list, init=False, repr=False)

    def __post_init__(self) -> None:
        """Validation after initialization."""
        if not self.email:

    def activate(self) -> None:
        """Activate the user."""
        if self.is_active:
            raise ValueError("User is already active")

        self.is_active = True
        self.updated_at = datetime.utcnow()

    def deactivate(self) -> None:
        """Deactivate the user."""
        if not self.is_active:

### Value Objects

Value objects are immutable and defined by their attributes.

```python

    """

    value: str

    def __post_init__(self) -> None:
        """Validation at initialization."""
        try:
            # Normalization and validation
            email_info = validate_email(self.value, check_deliverability=False)

            object.__setattr__(self, 'value', email_info.normalized)
        except EmailNotValidError as e:

    def __str__(self) -> str:

    @property
    def domain(self) -> str:

        return self.value.split('@')[1]

    @property
    def local_part(self) -> str:

# src/myproject/domain/value_objects/money.py

from typing import Union

    to avoid float errors.

        if len(self.currency) != 3:

    def __add__(self, other: Money) -> Money:
        """Addition of two Money objects."""
        self._check_same_currency(other)
        return Money(

```
