Brian #1: A brief tour of Python 3.7 data classes


a great write-up of the upcoming data classes via Anthony Shaw
“Data classes are a way of automating the generation of boiler-plate code for classes which store multiple properties. They also carry the benefit of using Python 3’s new type hinting.”
Default magic methods

In the default setting, any dataclass will implement __init__, __repr__, __str__ and __eq__ for you.
The __init__ method will have keyword-arguments with the same type annotations that are specified on the class.
The __eq__ method will compare all dataclass attributes in order.
All fields are declared at the top of the class and type hinting is required.

Also covered

type hinting
mutability (and frozen)
customizing the fields
post-init processing : optional __``*post_init_*``_ will run after the generated _``*_init_*``_
inheritance

Brian #3: dryable : a useful dry-run decorator for python


short circuit methods within your project during dry runs.
example shows how to add a command line flag --dry-run.
The test code is useful for understanding it also.
Example something.py
import dryable

@dryable.Dryable('foo')
def return_something():
return 'something'


test_something.py

from something import return_something
import dryable

def test_normal_return():
dryable.set(False)
assert return_something() == 'something'

def test_dry_return(capsys):
dryable.set(True)
assert return_something() == 'foo'

These are some pretty cool examples.

Brian #5: PEP Explorer - Explore Python Enhancement Proposals


Cool idea. Might need some work though. I can’t find any accepted PEPs for 3.7, including 557, data classes.
I’m ok with giving Anthony some shade on this, as we highlighted his writing in the first item.
