By reading and running
code.py, you learn how Python is actually used at companies — not just syntax, but structure, design decisions, and professional patterns.
ShopyApp is a single-file Python application (code.py) that simulates how real companies build e-commerce backends — similar to Amazon, Flipkart, or Swiggy. Every Python concept is taught inside a working product with real features and real-world architecture used by professional developers.

# Two files will be created automatically:
# shopflow.db — SQLite database with all your data
# shopflow.log — Full audit trail of every eventWhen you run code.py, it walks through all 6 features sequentially:
- 📧 Email notifications printed to the console
- 📋 Product table with names, prices, stock, and ratings
- 🛒 Cart contents with subtotals and total
- 🎉 Order confirmation with a unique order ID
- 📊 Admin sales report with a terminal bar chart
- 🔐 Security test showing
