Result dataclasses

[dilpath]

Feature description Result objects refactored to be dataclasses [1]. e.g. OptimizerResult [2] already looks like a dataclass.

Motivation/Application

• simpler code in pyPESTO
• benefits of dataclasses
  • transform combined results into other useful types (e.g. pd.DataFrame(list_of_dataclass))
  • automatic __repr__ and __eq__ (though may need to be customized in pyPESTO)

Issues

• backwards-compatibility
  • deprecation warnings and temporary methods for compatibility could be used.
