`Prototype-Oriented Programming `_ in Python at the tip of your fingers in a simple, easy-to-use library.

|PyPI-package-version| |PyPI-license| |PyPI-python-versions| |travis-ci| |readthedocs| |PyPI-downloads-month|

Installation
------------

``pip install protoclass``

Usage
-----

.. code:: python

>>> from protoclass import proto

# We create a basic object and add some functionality
>>> jane = proto(first="Jane", last="Doe")
>>> jane.greet = lambda self: print(self)
>>> jane.greet() #doctest: +ELLIPSIS

# A more user-friendly would be better.
# We could modify the `greet` function
# or we could create another object and inherit from it
>>> person = proto(first="", last="")
>>> person.__str__ = lambda self: f"{self.first} {self.last}"
>>> jane = jane.chain(person)

# and we should get a better message.
>>> jane.greet()
Jane Doe

API Reference
-------------

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| **proto(\*\*attrs)** |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Makes a new prototype with given attributes. |
| An empty prototype will be made when no attributes are given. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| **proto.chain(self, other, \*others)** |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Makes self copy attributes from another prototype or multiple other prototypes. |
| Any previous relationship with other parent prototypes will be automatically severed. |
| When parent prototypes share attributes with the same name, the first parent prototype that has that attribute will be provide it, so the order in which they are given matters. |
| Any change made to parent prototypes will be automatically propagated to this prototype. |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| **clone(other, \*others)** |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Makes a new prototype by copying attributes from another prototype or multiple other prototypes. |
| When parent prototypes share attributes with the same name, the first parent prototype that has that attribute will be provide it, so the order in which they are given matters. |
| Any change made to parent prototypes will be automatically propagated to this clone. |
