Do we lose anything critical if we don't use attr? I probably suggested the use of attr. It's super useful, for things like this: > > +@attr.s(frozen=True) > > +class WmmRule(object): > > + vo_c = attr.ib() > > + vi_c = attr.ib() > > + be_c = attr.ib() > > + bk_c = attr.ib() > > + vo_ap = attr.ib() > > + vi_ap = attr.ib() > > + be_ap = attr.ib() > > + bk_ap = attr.ib() > > + > > + def _as_tuple(self): > > + return (self.vo_c, self.vi_c, self.be_c, self.bk_c, > > + self.vo_ap, self.vi_ap, self.be_ap, self.bk_ap) Spelling this out as a real object with all the __repr__ and comparisons etc. gets far more verbose. While we can get rid of it in theory, it's a ~100KiB package without any further dependencies, and the code is better off for it. Ultimately it's your decision, but I suspect that python is already such a big dependency that adding this library is in the noise. johannes
