+ The traits package from the Enthought Tool Suite provides a
+ metaclass with special attributes that are called traits. A trait
+ is a type definition that can be used for normal Python object
+ attributes, giving the attributes some additional characteristics:
+ * Initialization: A trait attribute can have a default value
+ * Validation: A trait attribute is manifestly typed.
+ * Delegation: The value of a trait attribute can be contained in another
+ object
+ * Notification: Setting the value of a trait attribute can fired
+ callbacks
+ * Visualization: With the TraitsUI package, GUIs can be generated
+ automatically from traited objects.
