Reason: A chain of NIH packages that have seen no upstream activity in 3+ years. They are all broken with >=dev-python/flit-core-4, and have no reverse dependencies outside the chain. Removal on 2026-09-07. Bug #980500.

Package Information

Description:: Properties are a feature in python that allow accessor functions (i.e. getters and setters) to masquerade as regular attributes. This makes it possible to provide transparent APIs for classes that need to cache results, lazily load data, maintain invariants, or react in any other way to attribute access. Unfortunately, making a property requires an annoying amount of boilerplate code. There are a few ways to do it, but the most common and most succinct requires you to decorate two functions (with two different decorators) and to type the name of the attribute three times. The autoprop module simplifies this process by searching your class for accessor methods and adding properties corresponding to any such methods it finds.
