I don't ask people to search for me.

I ask people for their specific knowledge about specific python language
constructs.

This is a simple cooperation.

I've spend very much time to extract this specifi evaluation template:

http://lazaridis.com/case/stack/index.html#evaluation

Python community can 'fill' it quickly with the relevant technology (if
it exists).

The evaluation result can serve as a fundamental part for a _practical_
showcase how Python beats Java.

=> {annotation via attributes on modules, functions, classes and objects}

=> {not available with basic types (numbers, sequences, dicts, ...) }

=> {unconfirmed: possibility to extend/wrap basic types with own classes}

I understand this procedure.

I would like to use a standard way, which uses the standard metadata
[implicit/explicit defined].

Does such standard exist?

I am spending "a day" with it's community.
