I'm very curious about this, as a potential contributor, would someone care to provide examples of what's stated in the documentation?

My assumption is this is typing related and not directly related to using CloudEvents in Python. Is that somewhat right?

    @abstractmethod
    def _get_attributes(self) -> typing.Dict[str, typing.Any]:
        """
        Returns the attributes of the event.

        The implementation MUST assume that the returned value MAY be mutated.

        Having a function over a property simplifies integration for custom
        framework-specific implementations.

        :returns: Attributes of the event.
        """
        raise NotImplementedError()

Hi @ncouture,

data is not an attribute but the event payload. The line in the docs is there to help and navigate developers. What kind of example you'd like to see? How to access data from an event?

You can check e.g. test_http_cloudevent_mutates_equality to find examples of how .data is accessed.

I hope this clarifies it a bit.
