## Classes as dependencies { #classes-as-dependencies_1 }

You might notice that to create an instance of a Python class, you use that same syntax.

For example:

```Python
class Cat:
    def __init__(self, name: str):
        self.name = name


fluffy = Cat(name="Mr Fluffy")
```

In this case, `fluffy` is an instance of the class `Cat`.

And to create `fluffy`, you are "calling" `Cat`.

   * you override {@link #listIterator()}, you may wish to override {@link #iterator} to forward to
   * this implementation.
   *
   * @since 7.0
   */
  protected Iterator<E> standardIterator() {
    return listIterator();
  }

  /**
   * A sensible default implementation of {@link #listIterator()}, in terms of {@link
   * #listIterator(int)}. If you override {@link #listIterator(int)}, you may wish to override

---> 100%

/// note

When you install with `pip install "fastapi[standard]"` it comes with some default optional standard dependencies, including `fastapi-cloud-cli`, which allows you to deploy to [FastAPI Cloud](https://fastapicloud.com).

If you don't want to have those optional dependencies, you can instead install `pip install fastapi`.

If you declare the return type as `AsyncIterable[Item]`, FastAPI will use it to **validate**, **document**, and **serialize** the data using Pydantic.

{* ../../docs_src/server_sent_events/tutorial001_py310.py ln[1:25] hl[10:12,23] *}

/// tip

As Pydantic will serialize it in the **Rust** side, you will get much higher **performance** than if you don't declare a return type.

///

This can be very useful for setting up **resources** that you need to use for the whole app, and that are **shared** among requests, and/or that you need to **clean up** afterwards. For example, a database connection pool, or loading a shared machine learning model.

## Use Case { #use-case }

Let's start with an example **use case** and then see how to solve it with this.

### Installing Python and Updating the `PATH` { #installing-python-and-updating-the-path }

When you install Python, you might be asked if you want to update the `PATH` environment variable.

//// tab | Linux, macOS

Let's say you install Python and it ends up in a directory `/opt/custompython/bin`.
