• namedtuples or attrs (https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs), https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aenum

  • In Python 3.6:

    from typing import NamedTuple

    class Foo(NamedTuple): """Foo is a very important class and you should totally use it. """ bar: int baz: int = 0

      def grand_total(self):
          return self.bar + self.baz
    

  • attrs:

    import attr @attr.s class Point: x = attr.ib(default=42) y = attr.ib(default=attr.Factory(list))

  • Tuples have problems where Point2D(x=12, y=15) == Time(h=12, m=15). See https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses/blob/master/pep-xxxx.rst
