[Python-ideas] Simpler Customization of Class Creation - PEP 487

[Martin Teichmann]

Hi List,

I thought it was a good idea to show that projects can benefit from PEP 487 out
there in the real world. As a showcase example I chose IPython traitlets, and it
was a nice success. With only little modifications to the traitlets code it uses
a PEP 487 style metaclass, and all tests pass unmodified with both Python 2
and 3. You can find the PEP 487 style IPython traitlets here:
