Thanks!  So for example, this:


def admonition(*args):
     return make_admonition(nodes.admonition, *args)

admonition.arguments = (1, 0, 1)
admonition.options = {'class': directives.class_option}
admonition.content = 1

def attention(*args):
     return make_admonition(nodes.attention, *args)

attention.content = 1


might be rephrased as (say):


as [rst_directive(
         arguments=(1,0,1),
         options={'class': directives.class_option},
         content=1
     )
] def admonition(*args):
     return make_admonition(nodes.admonition, *args)


as [rst_directive(content=1)]
def attention(*args):
     return make_admonition(nodes.attention, *args)
