[Nipy-devel] attributes vs. traits

This seems to me to be a very important point.  The other key point
for me is the one you make further down, that taking the extra layer
of traits out of the basic building blocks of the code makes the code
much easier for someone to pick up how the code works, without having
to master Traits - and this seems to me to be huge advantage.  If we
can benefit from the functionality of Traits while concealing them in
a simple way from the user, this seems the ideal solution,

Luv,
