This is not a beginner-level question. You may not be reaching the audience you want here. You're essentially asking for a static type system for Python. Python was not particularly designed to accommodate a static type system It is dynamically typed: in Python, types are attached to values, not variables. Start reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system#Dynamic_type_checking_and_runtime_type_information Your question is an active area of CS research. Therefore, we can't provide clear, direct answers to your question: you have to do your own searching. Here are a few starting points. http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1519 http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2622 https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/tapl/ _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
