A History Lesson
In the beginning there where:
- dicts for look-ups
- tuples for structures
- hand-written classes for more functionality
Later Named Tuples where added as a code generator with the goal of adding names to the fields of a tuple. This was limited by design, hence its name
ORMs appeared and pioneered using class attributes to specify rich data structures
In Python 3.6, it became possible to supply type annotations

Dataclasses are an implementation of a code generator, similar to a Named Tuple.
The idea of using a code generator is to save time and reduce wordiness.
There are two views about the purpose of Dataclasses:
- It makes a mutable da...

A Complex Example of using Dataclasses
In the image example, the generated code includes:
- typed attributes
- hidden attributes from __repr__ response
- custom __hash__ dunder with the selected fields
- attribute with default factory value in __init__ constructor

Generated Code Includes
- Dunder methods like init, repr, eq, lt, le, etc.
- Frozen nature by generating dunder methods for __setattr__ and __delattr__
- Class variables for the provided attributes
The code generation can be configured by providing keyword a...
