    r"""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 that is the immediate
      target.  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 that
      are available on instances of the target object.

    :param creator: optional.

      Defines custom behavior when new items are added to the proxied
      collection.

      By default, adding new items to the collection will trigger a
      construction of an instance of the target object, passing the given
      item as a positional argument to the target constructor.  For cases
      where this isn't sufficient, :paramref:`.association_proxy.creator`
      can supply a callable that will construct the object in the
      appropriate way, given the item that was passed.

      For list- and set- oriented collections, a single argument is
      passed to the callable. For dictionary oriented collections, two
      arguments are passed, corresponding to the key and value.

      The :paramref:`.association_proxy.creator` callable is also invoked
      for scalar (i.e. many-to-one, one-to-one) relationships. If the
      current value of the target relationship attribute is ``None``, the
