It was designed to reduce boilerplate when setting Django admin field attributes like short_description and admin_order_field, allowing you to declare them once as decorator arguments instead of assigning them after function definition.\n\nThe package has been abandoned since 2022-07-13 and is now overshadowed by a more popular package that uses the same import name, creating namespace conflicts. With no runtime dependencies and a permissive MIT license, it installs cleanly, but its lack of maintenance and the naming collision make it a poor choice for new projects.","worth_installing":"No. The package is abandoned (last release 2022-07-13, no commits since), and namespace shadowing issues are documented in its own description. For new projects, consider alternatives. For legacy code already using attr, migration is advisable to avoid import collision."},"id":"attr","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/attr","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/attr.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/attr/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-07-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"attr","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Simple decorator to set attributes of target function or class in a DRY way."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":441722,"position":6642,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.2"}
