"""
The typing module: Support for gradual typing as defined by PEP 484 and subsequent PEPs.
Among other things, the module includes the following:
* Generic, Protocol, and internal machinery to support generic aliases.
All subscripted types like X[int], Union[int, str] are generic aliases.
* Various "special forms" that have unique meanings in type annotations:
NoReturn, Never, ClassVar, Self, Concatenate, Unpack, and others.
* Classes whose instances can be type arguments to generic classes and functions:
TypeVar, ParamSpec, TypeVarTuple.
* Public helper functions: get_type_hints, overload, cast, final, and others.
* Several protocols to support duck-typing:
SupportsFloat, SupportsIndex, SupportsAbs, and others.
* Special types: NewType, NamedTuple, TypedDict.
* Deprecated aliases for builtin types and collections.abc ABCs.
Any name not present in __all__ is an implementation detail
that may be changed without notice. Use at your own risk!

``TypeGuard`` can be used to annotate the return type of a user-defined

At runtime, functions marked this way should return a boolean.
``TypeGuard`` aims to benefit *type narrowing* -- a technique used by static
type checkers to determine a more precise type of an expression within a
program's code flow. Usually type narrowing is done by analyzing
conditional code flow and applying the narrowing to a block of code. The
conditional expression here is sometimes referred to as a "type predicate".
Sometimes it would be convenient to use a user-defined boolean function
as a type predicate. Such a function should use ``TypeGuard[...]`` or
``TypeIs[...]`` as its return type to alert static type checkers to
this intention. ``TypeGuard`` should be used over ``TypeIs`` when narrowing
from an incompatible type (e.g., ``list[object]`` to ``list[int]``) or when
the function does not return ``True`` for all instances of the narrowed type.
Using ``-> TypeGuard[NarrowedType]`` tells the static type checker that
for a given function:
1. The return value is a boolean.
2. If the return value is ``True``, the type of its argument
is ``NarrowedType``.
For example::
def is_str_list(val: list[object]) -> TypeGuard[list[str]]:
'''Determines whether all objects in the list are strings'''
return all(isinstance(x, str) for x in val)
def func1(val: list[object]):
if is_str_list(val):
# Type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``list[str]``.
print(" ".join(val))
else:
# Type of ``val`` remains as ``list[object]``.
print("Not a list of strings!")
Strict type narrowing is not enforced -- ``TypeB`` need not be a narrower
form of ``TypeA`` (it can even be a wider form) and this may lead to
type-unsafe results. The main reason is to allow for things like
narrowing ``list[object]`` to ``list[str]`` even though the latter is not
a subtype of the former, since ``list`` is invariant. The responsibility of
writing type-safe type predicates is left to the user.
``TypeGuard`` also works with type variables. For more information, see
PEP 647 (User-Defined Type Guards).

``TypeIs`` can be used to annotate the return type of a user-defined

at least one argument.

Sometimes it would be convenient to use a user-defined boolean function
as a type predicate. Such a function should use ``TypeIs[...]`` or
``TypeGuard[...]`` as its return type to alert static type checkers to
this intention. ``TypeIs`` usually has more intuitive behavior than
``TypeGuard``, but it cannot be used when the input and output types
are incompatible (e.g., ``list[object]`` to ``list[int]``) or when the
function does not return ``True`` for all instances of the narrowed type.
Using ``-> TypeIs[NarrowedType]`` tells the static type checker that for
a given function:
1. The return value is a boolean.
2. If the return value is ``True``, the type of its argument
is the intersection of the argument's original type and
``NarrowedType``.
3. If the return value is ``False``, the type of its argument
is narrowed to exclude ``NarrowedType``.
For example::
from typing import assert_type, final, TypeIs
class Parent: pass
class Child(Parent): pass
@final
class Unrelated: pass
def is_parent(val: object) -> TypeIs[Parent]:
return isinstance(val, Parent)

# ``Child``.
assert_type(arg, Child)
else:
# Type of ``arg`` is narrowed to exclude ``Parent``,
# so only ``Unrelated`` is left.
assert_type(arg, Unrelated)
The type inside ``TypeIs`` must be consistent with the type of the
function's argument; if it is not, static type checkers will raise
an error. An incorrectly written ``TypeIs`` function can lead to
unsound behavior in the type system; it is the user's responsibility
to write such functions in a type-safe manner.
``TypeIs`` also works with type variables. For more information, see
PEP 742 (Narrowing types with ``TypeIs``).
