Typehint Troubleshooting#
If you happen to run into a problem with type checking Koda Validate, take a minute read through the documentation to
make sure there really is a problem – some Validators require specific .typed methods to be called for proper
type inference at initialization.
If you run into a bug, there a few common workarounds to be aware of:
type: ignore#
x = some_function() # type: ignore
This simply tells the type checker to ignore this line.
typing.Any#
from typing import Any
x: Any = some_function()
The Python docs about Any say:
Every type is compatible with
Any.Anyis compatible with every type.
typing.cast#
from typing import cast
x = cast(str, some_function()) # `str` could be any type you wish to cast to
cast just tells the type checker the value is of the specified type.
The Python typehint ecosystem is still evolving rapidly, and you can expect guidance here to be updated over time.
