Why? How are dataclasses relevant (don't assume it is as obvious to
everyone as it may be to you)? I'm especially interested in how
dataclasses may help me solve the DRY problem for module-level
functions:
def function(spam, eggs, cheese, aardvark):
do stuff
call _private_function(spam, eggs, cheese, aardvark)
since this bites me about twice as often as the `self.spam = spam`
issue.
(That's not me being snarky by the way, it's a genuine question:
dataclasses are a mystery to me, so I don't know what they can and can't
do.)
