characteristic is an MIT-licensed Python package with class decorators
that ease the chores of implementing the most common attribute-related
object protocols.

You just specify the attributes to work with and characteristic
gives you any or all of:

* a nice human-readable __repr__,
* a complete set of comparison methods,
* immutability for attributes,
* and a kwargs-based initializer (that cooperates with your existing
  one and optionally even checks the types of the arguments)

without writing dull boilerplate code again and again.

This gives you the power to use actual classes with actual types
in your code instead of confusing tuples or confusingly behaving
namedtuples.

So put down that type-less data structures and welcome some class
into your life!
