        ``attrs`` is the Python package that will bring back the **joy** of **writing classes** by relieving you from the drudgery of implementing object protocols (aka `dunder <http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200605/dunder.html>`_ methods).
        
        Its main goal is to help you to write **concise** and **correct** software without slowing down your code.
        
        .. -spiel-end-
        
        For that, it gives you a class decorator and a way to declaratively define the attributes on that class:
        
        .. -code-begin-
        
        .. code-block:: pycon
        
           >>> import attr
           >>> @attr.s
           ... class C(object):
           ...     x = attr.ib(default=42)
           ...     y = attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(list))
           ...
           ...     def hard_math(self, z):
           ...         return self.x * self.y * z
           >>> i = C(x=1, y=2)
           >>> i
           C(x=1, y=2)
           >>> i.hard_math(3)
           6
           >>> i == C(1, 2)
           True
           >>> i != C(2, 1)
           True
           >>> attr.asdict(i)
           {'y': 2, 'x': 1}
           >>> C()
           C(x=42, y=[])
           >>> C2 = attr.make_class("C2", ["a", "b"])
           >>> C2("foo", "bar")
           C2(a='foo', b='bar')
        
        
        After *declaring* your attributes ``attrs`` gives you:
        
        - a concise and explicit overview of the class's attributes,
        - a nice human-readable ``__repr__``,
        - a complete set of comparison methods,
        - an initializer,
        - and much more,
        
        *without* writing dull boilerplate code again and again and *without* runtime performance penalties.
        
        This gives you the power to use actual classes with actual types in your code instead of confusing ``tuple``\ s or confusingly behaving ``namedtuple``\ s.
        Which in turn encourages you to write *small classes* that do `one thing well <https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries>`_.
        Never again violate the `single responsibility principle <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_responsibility_principle>`_ just because implementing ``__init__`` et al is a painful drag.

        ============
        
          I’m looking forward to is being able to program in Python-with-attrs everywhere.
          It exerts a subtle, but positive, design influence in all the codebases I’ve see it used in.

          I'm increasingly digging your attr.ocity. Good job!

        Release Information
        ===================
        
        16.3.0 (2016-11-24)
        -------------------
        
        Changes:
        ^^^^^^^^
        
        - Attributes now can have user-defined metadata which greatly improves ``attrs``'s extensibility.
          `#96 <https://github.com/hynek/attrs/pull/96>`_
        - Allow for a ``__attrs_post_init__`` method that -- if defined -- will get called at the end of the ``attrs``-generated ``__init__`` method.
          `#111 <https://github.com/hynek/attrs/pull/111>`_
        - Add ``@attr.s(str=True)`` that will optionally create a ``__str__`` method that is identical to ``__repr__``.
          This is mainly useful with ``Exception``\ s and other classes that rely on a useful ``__str__`` implementation but overwrite the default one through a poor own one.
          Default Python class behavior is to use ``__repr__`` as ``__str__`` anyways.
        
          If you tried using ``attrs`` with ``Exception``\ s and were puzzled by the tracebacks: this option is for you.
        - Don't overwrite ``__name__`` with ``__qualname__`` for ``attr.s(slots=True)`` classes.
          `#99 <https://github.com/hynek/attrs/issues/99>`_

        ``attrs`` is written and maintained by `Hynek Schlawack <https://hynek.me/>`_.
        
        The development is kindly supported by `Variomedia AG <https://www.variomedia.de/>`_.
        
        A full list of contributors can be found in `GitHub's overview <https://github.com/hynek/attrs/graphs/contributors>`_.
        
        It’s the spiritual successor of `characteristic <https://characteristic.readthedocs.io/>`_ and aspires to fix some of it clunkiness and unfortunate decisions.
        Both were inspired by Twisted’s `FancyEqMixin <https://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.python.util.FancyEqMixin.html>`_ but both are implemented using class decorators because `sub-classing is bad for you <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MNVP9-hglc>`_, m’kay?
