Sorry, there as just too many ways to go and we are intentionally not stating which way is preferred. I've seen many variants a:[Integral] for a list of integers, a:(int,str) for a 2-tuple of an int and a string, a:(str,file,None) for something that is a string or a file or None, a:'light_years' to indicate units of measure, a:range_check(10.5, 20.1) for range validation, and some variants for converters, adapters, factory functions, documentation aids, etc. If you want to advance the state of the art, perhaps write a blog post on what you consider to be a best practice. If a consensus emerges, we will follow. ---------- resolution: -> rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12195> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
