the mixin is pretty much what you see there, a Python class with some
attributes. @declared_attr doesn't do anything except allow the function to
act like an attribute at the class level (it's just one line), and also is a
"marker" object recognized by Declarative. So if you wanted to see what a
certain attribute had, you'd call it, that is, instead of looking in __dict__,
you'd say:
for attr in dir(MyMixin):
value = getattr(MyMixin, attr)
# inspect "value"
