Or
_xy = attrgetter('x', 'y', defaults=(True, False))


Sometimes, however, will be better to specify not value, but factory 
(when value is list, dictionary, or complex object), as for defauldict.

_xyz = defaultattrgetter('x', ('y', int, 123), ('z', list))
x has not default value,
y has default value int(123),
z has default value list().
