What module would be appropriate, though?
Well, DynamicClassAttribute is kept in the types module, so that's probably the place to put optionalproperty as well.
I'd also be OK with just leaving it as a builtin.
FWIW, I've felt for a while that the "types" module is becoming a catchall for stuff that would be more appropriate in a new "classtools" module (a la functools). I suppose that's what "types" has become, but I personally prefer the separate modules that make the distinction and would rather that "types" looked more like it does in 2.7. Perhaps this would be a good time to get that ball rolling or maybe it's just too late. I'd like to think it's the former, especially since I consider "classtools" a module that has room to grow. -eric
