-characteristic is a Python package with class decorators that ease the chores

-You just specify the attributes to work with and ``characteristic`` gives you:

-- a nice human-readable ``__repr__``,
-- a complete set of comparison methods,

-So put down that type-less data structures and welcome some class into your
