Another approach that I've used in the past (along with a derivative):
# using a non-data descriptor
@as_namedtuple
class Bee:
"""..."""
name = Attr(str, 'Eric', doc='the bee's name')
ancient_injury = Attr(bool, False)
menagerie = Attr(bool, False)
def half_a(self): ...
# using a non-data descriptor along with PEP 487
class Bee(Namedtuple):
"""..."""
name = Attr(str, 'Eric', doc='the bee's name')
ancient_injury = Attr(bool, False)
menagerie = Attr(bool, False)
def half_a(self): ...
While the descriptor gives you docstrings (a la property), I expect it
isn't as static-analysis-friendly as the proposed variable
annotations.
