The traits package provides a metaclass with special attributes that are
|
||
|
|
called traits. A trait is a type definition that can be used for normal
|
||
|
|
Python object attributes, giving the attributes some additional characteristics:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Initialization: A trait attribute can have a default value
|
||
|
|
* Validation: A trait attribute is manifestly typed.
|
||
|
|
* Delegation: The value of a trait attribute can be contained in another
|
||
|
|
object
|
||
|
|
* Notification: Setting the value of a trait attribute can fired
|
||
|
|
callbacks
|
||
|
|
* Visualization: With the TraitsUI package, GUIs can be generated
|
||
|
|
automatically from traited objects.
