funcattr 0.0.0

Assign attributes to functions using a decorator.

FuncAttr provides a simple decorator that assigns attributes to functions. For example, if you have several different functions for analyzing the same data, you might use this library to give each a descriptive title to be used in downstream plotting routines. Of course, it isn’t difficult to assign attributes like these to functions without a decorator, but such assignments must happen after the function body and can be easy to lose track of. A decorator puts these labels at the beginning of the function, and can never be accidentally separated from the function as the code is refactored.

Installation

FuncAttr is available on PyPI:

$ pip install funcattr

Usage

Here’s how to use the decorator:

from funcattr import annotate

@annotate(title="Do Spam")
def do_spam():
    pass

print(do_spam.title)  # Do Spam
