              optional function which generates a callable based on a parent
              instance, which produces the "default" values for a scalar or
              collection attribute when it's first accessed, if not present
              already.

            :param trackparent:
              if True, attempt to track if an instance has a parent attached
              to it via this attribute.

            :param extension:
              a single or list of AttributeExtension object(s) which will
              receive set/delete/append/remove/etc. events.
              The event package is now used.

              .. deprecated::  1.3

                The :paramref:`.AttributeImpl.extension` parameter is deprecated
                and will be removed in a future release, corresponding to the
                "extension" parameter on the :class:`.MapperProprty` classes
                like :func:`.column_property` and :func:`.relationship`  The
                events system is now used.

            :param compare_function:
              a function that compares two values which are normally
              assignable to this attribute.

            :param active_history:
              indicates that get_history() should always return the "old" value,
              even if it means executing a lazy callable upon attribute change.

            :param parent_token:
              Usually references the MapperProperty, used as a key for
              the hasparent() function to identify an "owning" attribute.
              Allows multiple AttributeImpls to all match a single
              owner attribute.

            :param expire_missing:
              if False, don't add an "expiry" callable to this attribute
              during state.expire_attributes(None), if no value is present
              for this key.

            :param send_modified_events:
              if False, the InstanceState._modified_event method will have no
              effect; this means the attribute will never show up as changed in a
              history entry.
