  22. ``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 <https://nedbatchelder.com/blog/200605/dunder.html>`_ methods).
  23. `Trusted by NASA <https://docs.github.com/en/github/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/personalizing-your-profile#list-of-qualifying-repositories-for-mars-2020-helicopter-contributor-badge>`_ for Mars missions since 2020!
  24. Its main goal is to help you to write **concise** and **correct** software without slowing down your code.
  25. .. teaser-end
  26. For that, it gives you a class decorator and a way to declaratively define the attributes on that class:
  27. .. -code-begin-
  28. .. code-block:: pycon
  29. >>> import attr
  30. >>> @attr.s
  31. ... class SomeClass(object):
  32. ... a_number = attr.ib(default=42)
  33. ... list_of_numbers = attr.ib(factory=list)
  34. ...
  35. ... def hard_math(self, another_number):
  36. ... return self.a_number + sum(self.list_of_numbers) * another_number
  37. >>> sc = SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
  38. >>> sc
  39. SomeClass(a_number=1, list_of_numbers=[1, 2, 3])
  40. >>> sc.hard_math(3)
  41. 19
  42. >>> sc == SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
  43. True
  44. >>> sc != SomeClass(2, [3, 2, 1])
  45. True
  46. >>> attr.asdict(sc)
  47. {'a_number': 1, 'list_of_numbers': [1, 2, 3]}
  48. >>> SomeClass()
  49. SomeClass(a_number=42, list_of_numbers=[])
  50. >>> C = attr.make_class("C", ["a", "b"])
  51. >>> C("foo", "bar")
  52. C(a='foo', b='bar')
  53. After *declaring* your attributes ``attrs`` gives you:
  54. - a concise and explicit overview of the class's attributes,
  55. - a nice human-readable ``__repr__``,
  56. - a complete set of comparison methods (equality and ordering),
  57. - an initializer,
  58. - and much more,
  59. *without* writing dull boilerplate code again and again and *without* runtime performance penalties.
  60. On Python 3.6 and later, you can often even drop the calls to ``attr.ib()`` by using `type annotations <https://www.attrs.org/en/latest/types.html>`_.
  61. This gives you the power to use actual classes with actual types in your code instead of confusing ``tuple``\ s or `confusingly behaving <https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/why.html#namedtuples>`_ ``namedtuple``\ s.
  62. Which in turn encourages you to write *small classes* that do `one thing well <https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries>`_.
  63. 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.
