README.md for Immutable Library

Overview

This library provides decorators and base classes to create immutable data classes in Python. By enforcing immutability and keyword-only arguments, it enhances the robustness and clarity of your data structures.

📋 Requirements

  • Python 3.9 or later.
  • No external dependencies are required.

📦 Installation

Pip

pip install python-immutable

Poetry

poetry add python-immutable

🛠 Usage

Using immutable Decorator

Apply immutable to a class to make it immutable and enforce keyword-only arguments.

from immutable import immutable

@immutable
class MyClass:
    # Fields here

Extending Immutable Base Class

Inherit from Immutable for similar functionality.

from immutable import Immutable

class MyClass(Immutable):
    # Fields here
