This program, not a translation from tcl, includes doctests. Suggested program use:
$ python3 -m doctest hexagons.py
Rotations support comes in name only. A full blown 3D system with homogeneous coordinates seemed overboard.

class Base:
Base provides default __init__ and __repr__ methods
for simple classes. The subclass includes a set of
mandatory_arguments . See examples.
The logic---yes, I have a reason---for using Base:
It has been said that using attribute names is
"good style" making for "clearly written code" and so forth.
The Base constructor REQUIRES keyword arguments when used.
You can get around this using a factory function to wrap
object construction. (Because it is, in my opinion, also
ridiculous to write the keywords over and over when you
have many of the same objects/function to create/call.)
See example in doctest:
>>> Base(a=3) # support doctest with command $ python3 -m doctest -v this.file
Base(**{'a': 3})
>>> f = lambda a: Base(a=a)
>>> f(1)
Base(**{'a': 1})
>>> f('alpha')
Base(**{'a': 'alpha'})
