def association_proxy(target_collection, attr, **kw):
    """Return a Python property implementing a view of a target
    attribute which references an attribute on members of the
    target.

    The returned value is an instance of :class:`.AssociationProxy`.

    Implements a Python property representing a relationship as a collection
    of simpler values, or a scalar value.  The proxied property will mimic
    the collection type of the target (list, dict or set), or, in the case of
    a one to one relationship, a simple scalar value.

    :param target_collection: Name of the attribute we'll proxy to.
      This attribute is typically mapped by
      :func:`~sqlalchemy.orm.relationship` to link to a target collection, but
      can also be a many-to-one or non-scalar relationship.

    :param attr: Attribute on the associated instance or instances we'll
      proxy for.

      For example, given a target collection of [obj1, obj2], a list created
      by this proxy property would look like [getattr(obj1, *attr*),
      getattr(obj2, *attr*)]

      If the relationship is one-to-one or otherwise uselist=False, then
      simply: getattr(obj, *attr*)

    :param creator: optional.

      When new items are added to this proxied collection, new instances of
      the class collected by the target collection will be created.  For list
      and set collections, the target class constructor will be called with
      the 'value' for the new instance.  For dict types, two arguments are
      passed: key and value.

      If you want to construct instances differently, supply a *creator*
      function that takes arguments as above and returns instances.

      For scalar relationships, creator() will be called if the target is None.
      If the target is present, set operations are proxied to setattr() on the
      associated object.

      If you have an associated object with multiple attributes, you may set
      up multiple association proxies mapping to different attributes.  See
      the unit tests for examples, and for examples of how creator() functions
      can be used to construct the scalar relationship on-demand in this
      situation.

    :param \*\*kw: Passes along any other keyword arguments to
      :class:`.AssociationProxy`.

          list created by this proxy property would look like
          [getattr(obj1, attr), getattr(obj2, attr)]

          function that takes arguments as above and returns instances.

        :param getset_factory: Optional.  Proxied attribute access is
          automatically handled by routines that get and set values based on
          the `attr` argument for this proxy.

          If you would like to customize this behavior, you may supply a
          `getset_factory` callable that produces a tuple of `getter` and
          `setter` functions.  The factory is called with two arguments, the
          abstract type of the underlying collection and this proxy instance.

        :param proxy_factory: Optional.  The type of collection to emulate is
          determined by sniffing the target collection.  If your collection
          type can't be determined by duck typing or you'd like to use a
          different collection implementation, you may supply a factory
          function to produce those collections.  Only applicable to
          non-scalar relationships.
