Description: # partial readonly
        
        `partial_readonly` provide a decorator for conveniently making some fields read-only in dataclass. No dependencies other than the Python Standard Library.
        
        
        
        
        ## Usage
        
        
        ### Quick Start
        
        With `partail_readonly`, we can easily make some of the fields in `dataclass` read-only by creating property related to them. __(Notice: We still can't make the origin field read-only, cause it still need to be set while calling `__init__`)__
        
        For example, the following code
        ```python
        from dataclasses import dataclass
        
        @dataclass
        class Data:
            id: int = 0
            name: str = ''
        
            @property
            def full_name(self): return self.name
        ```
        can be written like this by using `partial_readonly`
        ```python
        from dataclasses import dataclass
        
        @dataclass
        class Data:
            id: int = 0
            _name: 'str alias=full_name' = ''
        ```
        
        ### Details
        
        1. Mark a field read-only by adding an underline prefix
            - `_id: int` means `id` is read-only
        2. By default, the relative property named like field without underline prefix
            - `_id: int` will generate a property named `id`
        3. Use string annotation and add `alias=alias_you_want` at the end, and you'll have a property named `alias_you_want`
            - `_id: 'int alias=security_id` will generate a property named `security_id`
        
        
        ## Installation
        
        To install `partial_readonly`, simply use `pip`:
        
        ```pip install partial_readonly```
        
        Or use `easy_install`:
        
        ```easy_install partial_readonly```
        
        
        ## Deep down
        
        1. Making property read-only by set a getter[ and ban a setter]
        2. Using AST to build a getter for new property
        3. The idea about abusing annotation comes from [zmitchell/annotation-abuse](zmitchell/annotation-abuse)
        
        
        ## Why partial_readonly
        
        Lastest python offer us dataclass for creating some class in convenient way.
        
        But it's not convenient when we want not all the fields be readonly.
        
        
        ## Requirements
        
        - Python >= 3.7
        
        
        ## Postscript
        
        I built this for practicing AST and publish.
        
        I think it work fine.
        
        There are some more easily implementation.
        
        If you sharing some idea about this feature I'll be greatful!
