it is an enhanced property

    * initialize attribute in class definition scope

    * easily keep the attribute behaviors in sub classes.

    * easy to define interface.

    * not afraid to forget the super(klass, self).__init__(...) :P

                   val = Attriubte('val',
                                 factory=int,

                                 readonly=True,

            >>> del a.val; print a.val
            0
                          
            notes:
                'del a.val' does not delete the attr from instance.
                it just clean the assigned value for this attr. 

        parameters:
        
        * name :
            the attr's name, default is ''
        * readonly :
            define if the attr could be assigned.
            notes: readonly does not impact behavior of 'del a.val'
        * delable :
            define if the value could be deleted

        * default :
            the default value.
        * factory, boundfactory
            define the initializer for the attr.
            -factory takes no parametor 
            -boundfactory would get the instance as the only parameter.

        * validator, boundvalidator, skip_valid_err
            validate the value assigned to the attr.
            if validate failed,
                - the value would not be assigned
                - a exception would be raised if skip_valid_err is False.
            The validation would not be applied for the value initialized by: 
                default, factory, boundfactory
            
        * onchanged
            define a hook while attr value changed.
            the following 4 args would be given to the hook:
                (instance, Attribute instance, old value, new value)
                
        * otw
            one time write.
            e.g:
                class A(object):
                    v = Attribute(otw=True)
                    
                class B(A):

                b = B(99)
                print b.v -> 99
                b.v = 100 -> exception raised

        [initialization:]
            initializers are prioritized as "default, factory, boundfactory"
            if no any defined and value assinged, a exception would be raised while you try to read this attr.
