[Python-ideas] JavaScript-Style Object Creation in Python (using a constructor function instead of a class to create objects)

[Stephan Houben]

If this is the *only* objection to attrs let me quote some documentation:

"""
If playful naming turns you off, attrs comes with serious business aliases:

>>> from attr import attrs, attrib
>>> @attrs
... class SeriousCoordinates(object):
...     x = attrib()
...     y = attrib()
"""

So attrs and attrib can be used as alternatives for attr.s and attr.ib .

Personally, I like the playful names.
