Description: Product Attributes (Strict)
        ===========================
        
        Tryton has a powerful system of attributes for products introduced by the
        ``product_attribute`` module. The module however uses the ``fields.Dict``
        (JSON in database) field type to store attributes and this reduces the
        consistency since the lack of foreign keys and constraints allow deletion,
        renaming and editing of selection values even when used by products. 
        
        This module tries to remain as close as possible to Tryton's attribute
        system, but avoids the dictionary field to have attributes stored on
        separate table.
        
        Key differences
        ---------------
        
        1. Options of attributes with the `Selection` type are stores in a new
           table. 
           (Core module stores that in a text field in a JSON like syntax)
        2. Attributes of product are stored on a separate table
           (Core module stores this as JSON serialized text in database)
        
        FAQ
        ---
        
        *1. Can you move data from the tryton core module to this module ?*
        
        Yes, you can. An example script is provided to migrate the values
        from Tryton's default attribute system to this one. The script can
        be found under ``scripts/migrate_from_core_module.py``
        
        *2. Can this module be installed alongside core `product_attribute` module ?*
        
        Nope. You can use only one of the two modules and obviously we
        recommend ours
