So, as I"ve written before, since there seems to be no way out of Writing
Everything Twice
what about:
```
from typing import Protocol
class AProto(Protocol):
x: int
y: list[int]
def distance(self, x: int, y: int) -> list[float]:
...
class B:
value: AProto
class A(AProto): # inheriting from the protocol is optional, as per
PEP-544
x: int
y: list[int]
def distance(self, x: int, y: int) -> list[float]:
# code for distance goes here
...
```
The best advantage of this particular bikeshed is that it makes
full use of Guido's Time Machine and is readily usable from Python 3.8
onwards!
A.__annotations__ could be empty. For a more complete example you could
