Easier Classes: Python Classes Without All The Cruft
summary
Builds concrete Month and point class examples and shows which helpers actually implement dunder methods for you: namedtuple gives immutability and repr but inherits tuple quirks (ordering, length, addition), attrs is pip-install third party and is more feature-rich, and dataclasses (built into Python 3.7 but pip-installable otherwise) produces init, repr, equality, and can be frozen and made iterable (as_tuple or __iter__); friendly classes end up under ten lines and really do remove boilerplate.
