+Traitlets is a pure Python library enabling:
+
+* the enforcement of strong typing for attributes of Python objects (typed
+ attributes are called "traits")
+* notifications on changes of trait attributes
+* automatic validation and coercion of trait attributes when attempting a
+ change
+
+Its implementation relies on the descriptor pattern.
+
+Traitlets powers the configuration system of IPython and Jupyter and the
+declarative API of IPython interactive widgets.
