.. begin
``characteristic`` is an `MIT <http://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/>`_-licensed Python package with class decorators that ease the chores of implementing the most common attribute-related object protocols.
You just specify the attributes to work with and ``characteristic`` gives you any or all of:
- a nice human-readable ``__repr__``,
- a complete set of comparison methods,
- immutability for attributes,
- and a kwargs-based initializer (that cooperates with your existing one and optionally even checks the types of the arguments)
*without* writing dull boilerplate code again and again.
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.
So put down that type-less data structures and welcome some class into your life!
``characteristic``\ ’s documentation lives at `Read the Docs <https://characteristic.readthedocs.org/>`_, the code on `GitHub <https://github.com/hynek/characteristic>`_.
It’s rigorously tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+, and PyPy.
