*attrs* is the Python package that will bring back the **joy** of **writing classes** by relieving you from the drudgery of implementing object protocols (aka [dunder methods](https://www.attrs.org/en/latest/glossary.html#term-dunder-methods)).
[Trusted by NASA](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/personalizing-your-profile#list-of-qualifying-repositories-for-mars-2020-helicopter-contributor-achievement) for Mars missions since 2020!

Its main goal is to help you to write **concise** and **correct** software without slowing down your code.


## Sponsors

*attrs* would not be possible without our [amazing sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/hynek).
Especially those generously supporting us at the *The Organization* tier and higher:

## Example

*attrs* gives you a class decorator and a way to declaratively define the attributes on that class:

<!-- code-begin -->

```pycon
>>> from attrs import asdict, define, make_class, Factory

>>> @define
... class SomeClass:
...     a_number: int = 42
...     list_of_numbers: list[int] = Factory(list)
...
...     def hard_math(self, another_number):
...         return self.a_number + sum(self.list_of_numbers) * another_number


>>> sc = SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
>>> sc
SomeClass(a_number=1, list_of_numbers=[1, 2, 3])

>>> sc.hard_math(3)
19
>>> sc == SomeClass(1, [1, 2, 3])
True
>>> sc != SomeClass(2, [3, 2, 1])
True

>>> asdict(sc)
{'a_number': 1, 'list_of_numbers': [1, 2, 3]}

>>> SomeClass()
SomeClass(a_number=42, list_of_numbers=[])

>>> C = make_class("C", ["a", "b"])
>>> C("foo", "bar")
C(a='foo', b='bar')
```

After *declaring* your attributes, *attrs* gives you:

- a concise and explicit overview of the class's attributes,
- a nice human-readable `__repr__`,
- equality-checking methods,
- an initializer,
- and much more,

*without* writing dull boilerplate code again and again and *without* runtime performance penalties.

**Hate type annotations**!?
No problem!
Types are entirely **optional** with *attrs*.
Simply assign `attrs.field()` to the attributes instead of annotating them with types.

---

This example uses *attrs*'s modern APIs that have been introduced in version 20.1.0, and the *attrs* package import name that has been added in version 21.3.0.
The classic APIs (`@attr.s`, `attr.ib`, plus their serious-business aliases) and the `attr` package import name will remain **indefinitely**.

Please check out [*On The Core API Names*](https://www.attrs.org/en/latest/names.html) for a more in-depth explanation.


## Data Classes

On the tin, *attrs* might remind you of `dataclasses` (and indeed, `dataclasses` [are a descendant](https://hynek.me/articles/import-attrs/) of *attrs*).
In practice it does a lot more and is more flexible.
For instance it allows you to define [special handling of NumPy arrays for equality checks](https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/comparison.html#customization), or allows more ways to [plug into the initialization process](https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/init.html#hooking-yourself-into-initialization).

For more details, please refer to our [comparison page](https://www.attrs.org/en/stable/why.html#data-classes).

## Release Information

### Backwards-incompatible Changes

- Python 3.6 has been dropped and packaging switched to static package data using [Hatch](https://hatch.pypa.io/latest/).
  [#993](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/993)


### Deprecations

- The support for *zope-interface* via the `attrs.validators.provides` validator is now deprecated and will be removed in, or after, April 2024.

  The presence of a C-based package in our developement dependencies has caused headaches and we're not under the impression it's used a lot.

  Let us know if you're using it and we might publish it as a separate package.
  [#1120](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1120)


### Changes

- `attrs.filters.exclude()` and `attrs.filters.include()` now support the passing of attribute names as strings.
  [#1068](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1068)
- `attrs.has()` and `attrs.fields()` now handle generic classes correctly.
  [#1079](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1079)
- Fix frozen exception classes when raised within e.g. `contextlib.contextmanager`, which mutates their `__traceback__` attributes.
  [#1081](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1081)
- `@frozen` now works with type checkers that implement [PEP-681](https://peps.python.org/pep-0681/) (ex. [pyright](https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/)).
  [#1084](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1084)
- Restored ability to unpickle instances pickled before 22.2.0.
  [#1085](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1085)
- `attrs.asdict()`'s and `attrs.astuple()`'s type stubs now accept the `attrs.AttrsInstance` protocol.
  [#1090](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1090)
- Fix slots class cellvar updating closure in CPython 3.8+ even when `__code__` introspection is unavailable.
  [#1092](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1092)
- `attrs.resolve_types()` can now pass `include_extras` to `typing.get_type_hints()` on Python 3.9+, and does so by default.
  [#1099](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1099)
- Added instructions for pull request workflow to `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
  [#1105](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1105)
- Added *type* parameter to `attrs.field()` function for use with `attrs.make_class()`.

  Please note that type checkers ignore type metadata passed into `make_class()`, but it can be useful if you're wrapping _attrs_.
  [#1107](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1107)
- It is now possible for `attrs.evolve()` (and `attr.evolve()`) to change fields named `inst` if the instance is passed as a positional argument.

  Passing the instance using the `inst` keyword argument is now deprecated and will be removed in, or after, April 2024.
  [#1117](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1117)
- `attrs.validators.optional()` now also accepts a tuple of validators (in addition to lists of validators).
  [#1122](https://github.com/python-attrs/attrs/issues/1122)
