I was writing some code the other day, and it needed a quick-and-dirty data structure definition for a set of related variables. I looked back at other code to try be consistent, and found that I used dataclasses in some parts and namedtuples in others. Both seemed the right thing to do at the time - almost to the extent where I could change one way for the other and it would still be the same code.
You can easily get a dataclass represented as tuple and vice versa. The way they work under the hood may be different, but the interfaces are very close. Two different modules are doing practically the same thing! _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/O2TQG4NBXJOYQABVFCM4Q3G7RDUHIAOU/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
