Description: Be synthetic with PySynthetic
        #############################
        
        **PySynthetic** is a set of tools that aims to make writing Python classes shorter and "cleaner".
        
        For instance, one can add properties and accessors *(getters/setters)* to a class with only one line of code *(using respectively* ``synthesize_property`` *and* ``synthesize_member`` *decorators)*, thus making the code more than 5 times shorter *(see* `examples`_ *)*. One can even avoid the laborious task of members initialization by using the ``synthesize_constructor`` decorator that takes care of writing the ``__init__`` method.
        
        **PySynthetic** is also useful for applying strict type checking with no pain just by using the decorators' ``contract`` argument *(see* `PyContracts <http://andreacensi.github.com/contracts/>`_ *)*.
        
        Help and ideas are appreciated! Thank you!

        Synthetic properties
        ====================
        
        With **PySynthetic**, the following code *(8 lines)*...
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from synthetic import synthesize_constructor, synthesize_property
            
            @synthesize_property('a', contract = int)
            @synthesize_property('b', contract = list)
            @synthesize_property('c', default = "", contract = str, read_only = True)
            @synthesize_constructor()
            class ShortAndClean(object):
                pass
        
        ... replaces this *(43 lines)*:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from contracts import contract
            
            class ThisHurtsMyKeyboard(object):
            
                @contract
                def __init__(self, a, b, c = ""):
                    """
                :type a: int
                :type b: list
                :type c: str
            """
                    self._a = a
                    self._b = b
                    self._c = c
                    
                @property
                def a(self):
                    return self._a
                
                @a.setter
                @contract
                def a(self, value):
                    """
                :type value: int
            """
                    self._a = value
                
                @property
                def b(self):
                    return self._b
                
                @b.setter
                @contract
                def b(self, value):
                    """
                :type value: list
            """
                    self._b = value
                
                @property 
                def c(self):
                    return self._c
        
        Synthetic accessors
        ===================
        
        But, if you are more into accessors than properties, you can use ``synthesize_member`` decorator instead.
        
        This way, the following code *(8 lines)*...
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from synthetic import synthesize_constructor, synthesize_member
            
            @synthesize_member('a', contract = int)
            @synthesize_member('b', contract = list)
            @synthesize_member('c', default = "", contract = str, read_only = True)
            @synthesize_constructor()
            class ShortAndClean(object):
                pass
        
        ...will replace this *(37 lines)*:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            from contracts import contract
            
            class ThisHurtsMyKeyboard(object):
            
                @contract
                def __init__(self, a, b, c = ""):
                    """
                :type a: int
                :type b: list
                :type c: str
            """
                    self._a = a
                    self._b = b
                    self._c = c
                    
                def a(self):
                    return self._a
                
                @contract
                def set_a(self, value):
                    """
                :type value: int
            """
                    self._a = value
                
                def b(self):
                    return self._b
                
                @contract
                def set_b(self, value):
                    """
                :type value: list
            """
                    self._b = value
                
                def c(self):
                    return self._c
