Overview
========
A fast and thorough lazy object proxy.
* Free software: BSD 2-Clause License
Note that this is based on `wrapt`_'s ObjectProxy with one big change: it calls a function the first time the proxy object is
used, while `wrapt.ObjectProxy` just forwards the method calls to the target object.
In other words, you use `lazy-object-proxy` when you only have the object way later and you use `wrapt.ObjectProxy` when you
want to override few methods (by subclassing) and forward everything else to the target object.
Example::
import lazy_object_proxy
def expensive_func():
from time import sleep
print('starting calculation')
# just as example for a very slow computation
sleep(2)
print('finished calculation')
# return the result of the calculation
return 10
obj = lazy_object_proxy.Proxy(expensive_func)
# function is called only when object is actually used
print(obj) # now expensive_func is called
print(obj) # the result without calling the expensive_func

Changelog
=========
1.9.0 (2023-01-04)
------------------
* Added support for matrix multiplication operator (``@``).
* Should have all the wheels now (including the manylinux ones).
* Bumped minimum version requirements for setuptools and setuptools-scm.
* Switched the default pure python fallback implementation to the "simple" one (when you ``from lazy_object_proxy import Proxy``
and the C extension is not available).
Previously the "slots" implementation was used but as it turns out it is slower on Python 3.
1.8.0 (2022-10-26)
------------------
* Cleaned up use of cPickle. Contributed by Sandro Tosi in `#62
