Build self-validating python objects using JSON schemas.

1. Create your schema

   >>> schema = {
       'name': 'Country',
       'properties': {
           'name': {'type': 'string'},
           'abbreviation': {'type': 'string'},
           'population': {'type': 'integer'},
       },
       'additionalProperties': False,
   }
   

2. Create a model

   >>> import warlock
   >>> Country = warlock.model_factory(schema)
   

3. Create an object using your model

   >>> sweden = Country(name='Sweden', abbreviation='SE')
   

4. Let the object validate itself

   >>> sweden.name = 5
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     File "warlock/core.py", line 53, in __setattr__
       raise InvalidOperation(msg)
   warlock.core.InvalidOperation: Unable to set 'name' to '5'
   

   >>> sweden.overlord = 'Bears'
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
     File "warlock/core.py", line 53, in __setattr__
       raise InvalidOperation(msg)
   warlock.core.InvalidOperation: Unable to set 'overlord' to 'Bears'
   

5. Generate a [JSON Patch document](http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-appsawg-json-patch) to track changes

   >>> sweden.population=9453000
   >>> sweden.patch
   '[{"path": "/population", "value": 9453000, "op": "add"}]'
