"""
A lightweight Traits like module.

This is designed to provide a lightweight, simple, pure Python version of
many of the capabilities of enthought.traits.  This includes:

* Validation
* Type specification with defaults
* Static and dynamic notification
* Basic predefined types
* An API that is similar to enthought.traits

We don't support:

* Delegation
* Automatic GUI generation
* A full set of trait types.  Most importantly, we don't provide container
  traits (list, dict, tuple) that can trigger notifications if their
  contents change.
* API compatibility with enthought.traits

There are also some important difference in our design:

* enthought.traits does not validate default values.  We do.

We choose to create this module because we need these capabilities, but
we need them to be pure Python so they work in all Python implementations,
including Jython and IronPython.

            Each value in this dict should be a Trait for validating

            The default value for the Dict.  Must be dict, tuple, or None, and
