And now I've pushed a version that works with Python 3.6 to PyPI at
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dataclasses
It implements the PEP as it currently stands. I'll be making some tweaks in the
coming weeks. Feedback is welcomed.
The repo is at https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses

Overall, this looks very well thought out.
Nice work!
Thank you.
Once you get agreement on the functionality, name bike-shedding will likely be
next. In a way, all classes are data classes so that name doesn't tell me
much. Instead, it would be nice to have something suggestive of what it
actually does which is automatically adding boilerplate methods to a general
purpose class. Perhaps, @boilerplate or @autoinit or some such.
There was some discussion on naming at
https://github.com/ericvsmith/dataclasses/issues/12.
In that issue, Guido said use Data Classes (the concept), dataclasses
(the module) and dataclass (the decorator). I think if someone came up
with an awesomely better name, we could all be convinced to use it. But
so far, nothing's better.
Eric.
