`typing` — 支持类型提示 ¶

Added in version 3.5.

注意

The Python runtime does not enforce function and variable type annotations. They can be used by third party tools such as type checkers , IDEs, linters, etc.

This module provides runtime support for type hints.

Consider the function below:

def moon_weight(earth_weight: float) -> str:
    return f'On the moon, you would weigh {earth_weight * 0.166} kilograms.'

函数 moon_weight takes an argument expected to be an instance of float , as indicated by the 类型提示 earth_weight: float . The function is expected to return an instance of str , as indicated by the -> str hint.

While type hints can be simple classes like float or str , they can also be more complex. The typing module provides a vocabulary of more advanced type hints.

New features are frequently added to the typing 模块。 typing_extensions package provides backports of these new features to older versions of Python.

Specification for the Python Type System ¶

The canonical, up-to-date specification of the Python type system can be found at “Specification for the Python type system” .

类型别名 ¶

A type alias is defined using the type statement, which creates an instance of TypeAliasType . In this example, Vector and list[float] will be treated equivalently by static type checkers:

type Vector = list[float]
def scale(scalar: float, vector: Vector) -> Vector:
    return [scalar * num for num in vector]
# passes type checking; a list of floats qualifies as a Vector.
new_vector = scale(2.0, [1.0, -4.2, 5.4])

类型别名很有用为简化复杂类型签名。例如：

from collections.abc import Sequence
type ConnectionOptions = dict[str, str]
type Address = tuple[str, int]
type Server = tuple[Address, ConnectionOptions]
def broadcast_message(message: str, servers: Sequence[Server]) -> None:
    ...
# The static type checker will treat the previous type signature as
# being exactly equivalent to this one.
def broadcast_message(
        message: str,
        servers: Sequence[tuple[tuple[str, int], dict[str, str]]]) -> None:
    ...

The type statement is new in Python 3.12. For backwards compatibility, type aliases can also be created through simple assignment:

Vector = list[float]

Or marked with TypeAlias to make it explicit that this is a type alias, not a normal variable assignment:

from typing import TypeAlias
Vector: TypeAlias = list[float]

NewType ¶

使用 NewType helper to create distinct types:

from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
some_id = UserId(524313)

The static type checker will treat the new type as if it were a subclass of the original type. This is useful in helping catch logical errors:

def get_user_name(user_id: UserId) -> str:
    ...
# passes type checking
user_a = get_user_name(UserId(42351))
# fails type checking; an int is not a UserId
user_b = get_user_name(-1)

可以仍然履行所有 int operations on a variable of type UserId , but the result will always be of type int . This lets you pass in a UserId wherever an int might be expected, but will prevent you from accidentally creating a UserId in an invalid way:

# 'output' is of type 'int', not 'UserId'
output = UserId(23413) + UserId(54341)

Note that these checks are enforced only by the static type checker. At runtime, the statement Derived = NewType('Derived', Base) will make Derived a callable that immediately returns whatever parameter you pass it. That means the expression Derived(some_value) does not create a new class or introduce much overhead beyond that of a regular function call.

More precisely, the expression some_value is Derived(some_value) is always true at runtime.

It is invalid to create a subtype of Derived :

from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
# Fails at runtime and does not pass type checking
class AdminUserId(UserId): pass

However, it is possible to create a NewType based on a ‘derived’ NewType :

from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
ProUserId = NewType('ProUserId', UserId)

and typechecking for ProUserId will work as expected.

见 PEP 484 了解更多细节。

注意

Recall that the use of a type alias declares two types to be equivalent to one another. Doing type Alias = Original will make the static type checker treat Alias as being exactly equivalent to Original in all cases. This is useful when you want to simplify complex type signatures.

In contrast, NewType declares one type to be a subtype of another. Doing Derived = NewType('Derived', Original) will make the static type checker treat Derived 作为 subclass of Original , which means a value of type Original cannot be used in places where a value of type Derived is expected. This is useful when you want to prevent logic errors with minimal runtime cost.

Added in version 3.5.2.

3.10 版改变： NewType is now a class rather than a function. As a result, there is some additional runtime cost when calling NewType over a regular function.

3.11 版改变： The performance of calling NewType has been restored to its level in Python 3.9.

Annotating callable objects ¶

Functions – or other callable objects – can be annotated using collections.abc.Callable or typing.Callable . Callable[[int], str] signifies a function that takes a single parameter of type int 并返回 str .

例如：

from collections.abc import Callable, Awaitable
def feeder(get_next_item: Callable[[], str]) -> None:
    ...  # Body
def async_query(on_success: Callable[[int], None],
                on_error: Callable[[int, Exception], None]) -> None:
    ...  # Body
async def on_update(value: str) -> None:
    ...  # Body
callback: Callable[[str], Awaitable[None]] = on_update

The subscription syntax must always be used with exactly two values: the argument list and the return type. The argument list must be a list of types, a ParamSpec , Concatenate , or an ellipsis. The return type must be a single type.

If a literal ellipsis ... is given as the argument list, it indicates that a callable with any arbitrary parameter list would be acceptable:

def concat(x: str, y: str) -> str:
    return x + y
x: Callable[..., str]
x = str     # OK
x = concat  # Also OK

Callable cannot express complex signatures such as functions that take a variadic number of arguments, overloaded functions , or functions that have keyword-only parameters. However, these signatures can be expressed by defining a Protocol class with a __call__() 方法：

from collections.abc import Iterable
from typing import Protocol
class Combiner(Protocol):
    def __call__(self, *vals: bytes, maxlen: int | None = None) -> list[bytes]: ...
def batch_proc(data: Iterable[bytes], cb_results: Combiner) -> bytes:
    for item in data:
        ...
def good_cb(*vals: bytes, maxlen: int | None = None) -> list[bytes]:
    ...
def bad_cb(*vals: bytes, maxitems: int | None) -> list[bytes]:
    ...
batch_proc([], good_cb)  # OK
batch_proc([], bad_cb)   # Error! Argument 2 has incompatible type because of
                         # different name and kind in the callback

Callables which take other callables as arguments may indicate that their parameter types are dependent on each other using ParamSpec . Additionally, if that callable adds or removes arguments from other callables, the Concatenate operator may be used. They take the form Callable[ParamSpecVariable, ReturnType] and Callable[Concatenate[Arg1Type, Arg2Type, ..., ParamSpecVariable], ReturnType] 分别。

3.10 版改变： Callable 现在支持 ParamSpec and Concatenate 。见 PEP 612 了解更多细节。

另请参阅

The documentation for ParamSpec and Concatenate provides examples of usage in Callable .

一般 ¶

Since type information about objects kept in containers cannot be statically inferred in a generic way, many container classes in the standard library support subscription to denote the expected types of container elements.

from collections.abc import Mapping, Sequence
class Employee: ...
# Sequence[Employee] indicates that all elements in the sequence
# must be instances of "Employee".
# Mapping[str, str] indicates that all keys and all values in the mapping
# must be strings.
def notify_by_email(employees: Sequence[Employee],
                    overrides: Mapping[str, str]) -> None: ...

Generic functions and classes can be parameterized by using type parameter syntax :

from collections.abc import Sequence
def first[T](l: Sequence[T]) -> T:  # Function is generic over the TypeVar "T"
    return l[0]

Or by using the TypeVar factory directly:

from collections.abc import Sequence
from typing import TypeVar
U = TypeVar('U')                  # Declare type variable "U"
def second(l: Sequence[U]) -> U:  # Function is generic over the TypeVar "U"
    return l[1]

Changed in version 3.12: Syntactic support for generics is new in Python 3.12.

Annotating tuples ¶

For most containers in Python, the typing system assumes that all elements in the container will be of the same type. For example:

from collections.abc import Mapping
# Type checker will infer that all elements in ``x`` are meant to be ints
x: list[int] = []
# Type checker error: ``list`` only accepts a single type argument:
y: list[int, str] = [1, 'foo']
# Type checker will infer that all keys in ``z`` are meant to be strings,
# and that all values in ``z`` are meant to be either strings or ints
z: Mapping[str, str | int] = {}

list only accepts one type argument, so a type checker would emit an error on the y assignment above. Similarly, Mapping only accepts two type arguments: the first indicates the type of the keys, and the second indicates the type of the values.

Unlike most other Python containers, however, it is common in idiomatic Python code for tuples to have elements which are not all of the same type. For this reason, tuples are special-cased in Python’s typing system. tuple 接受 any number of type arguments:

# OK: ``x`` is assigned to a tuple of length 1 where the sole element is an int
x: tuple[int] = (5,)
# OK: ``y`` is assigned to a tuple of length 2;
# element 1 is an int, element 2 is a str
y: tuple[int, str] = (5, "foo")
# Error: the type annotation indicates a tuple of length 1,
# but ``z`` has been assigned to a tuple of length 3
z: tuple[int] = (1, 2, 3)

To denote a tuple which could be of any length, and in which all elements are of the same type T ，使用 tuple[T, ...] . To denote an empty tuple, use tuple[()] . Using plain tuple as an annotation is equivalent to using tuple[Any, ...] :

x: tuple[int, ...] = (1, 2)
# These reassignments are OK: ``tuple[int, ...]`` indicates x can be of any length
x = (1, 2, 3)
x = ()
# This reassignment is an error: all elements in ``x`` must be ints
x = ("foo", "bar")
# ``y`` can only ever be assigned to an empty tuple
y: tuple[()] = ()
z: tuple = ("foo", "bar")
# These reassignments are OK: plain ``tuple`` is equivalent to ``tuple[Any, ...]``
z = (1, 2, 3)
z = ()

The type of class objects ¶

A variable annotated with C may accept a value of type C . In contrast, a variable annotated with type[C] (或 typing.Type[C] ) may accept values that are classes themselves – specifically, it will accept the class object of C 。例如：

a = 3         # Has type ``int``
b = int       # Has type ``type[int]``
c = type(a)   # Also has type ``type[int]``

注意， type[C] 是协变：

class User: ...
class ProUser(User): ...
class TeamUser(User): ...
def make_new_user(user_class: type[User]) -> User:
    # ...
    return user_class()
make_new_user(User)      # OK
make_new_user(ProUser)   # Also OK: ``type[ProUser]`` is a subtype of ``type[User]``
make_new_user(TeamUser)  # Still fine
make_new_user(User())    # Error: expected ``type[User]`` but got ``User``
make_new_user(int)       # Error: ``type[int]`` is not a subtype of ``type[User]``

The only legal parameters for type are classes, Any , 类型变量 , and unions of any of these types. For example:

def new_non_team_user(user_class: type[BasicUser | ProUser]): ...
new_non_team_user(BasicUser)  # OK
new_non_team_user(ProUser)    # OK
new_non_team_user(TeamUser)   # Error: ``type[TeamUser]`` is not a subtype
                              # of ``type[BasicUser | ProUser]``
new_non_team_user(User)       # Also an error

type[Any] 相当于 type , which is the root of Python’s metaclass hierarchy .

用户定义一般类型 ¶

A user-defined class can be defined as a generic class.

from logging import Logger
class LoggedVar[T]:
    def __init__(self, value: T, name: str, logger: Logger) -> None:
        self.name = name
        self.logger = logger
        self.value = value
    def set(self, new: T) -> None:
        self.log('Set ' + repr(self.value))
        self.value = new
    def get(self) -> T:
        self.log('Get ' + repr(self.value))
        return self.value
    def log(self, message: str) -> None:
        self.logger.info('%s: %s', self.name, message)

This syntax indicates that the class LoggedVar is parameterised around a single type variable T . This also makes T valid as a type within the class body.

Generic classes implicitly inherit from Generic . For compatibility with Python 3.11 and lower, it is also possible to inherit explicitly from Generic to indicate a generic class:

from typing import TypeVar, Generic
T = TypeVar('T')
class LoggedVar(Generic[T]):
    ...

Generic classes have __class_getitem__() methods, meaning they can be parameterised at runtime (e.g. LoggedVar[int] below):

from collections.abc import Iterable
def zero_all_vars(vars: Iterable[LoggedVar[int]]) -> None:
    for var in vars:
        var.set(0)

A generic type can have any number of type variables. All varieties of TypeVar are permissible as parameters for a generic type:

from typing import TypeVar, Generic, Sequence
class WeirdTrio[T, B: Sequence[bytes], S: (int, str)]:
    ...
OldT = TypeVar('OldT', contravariant=True)
OldB = TypeVar('OldB', bound=Sequence[bytes], covariant=True)
OldS = TypeVar('OldS', int, str)
class OldWeirdTrio(Generic[OldT, OldB, OldS]):
    ...

Each type variable argument to Generic must be distinct. This is thus invalid:

from typing import TypeVar, Generic
...
class Pair[M, M]:  # SyntaxError
    ...
T = TypeVar('T')
class Pair(Generic[T, T]):   # INVALID
    ...

Generic classes can also inherit from other classes:

from collections.abc import Sized
class LinkedList[T](Sized):
    ...

When inheriting from generic classes, some type parameters could be fixed:

from collections.abc import Mapping
class MyDict[T](Mapping[str, T]):
    ...

在此情况下 MyDict 拥有单参数， T .

Using a generic class without specifying type parameters assumes Any for each position. In the following example, MyIterable is not generic but implicitly inherits from Iterable[Any] :

from collections.abc import Iterable
class MyIterable(Iterable): # Same as Iterable[Any]
    ...

User-defined generic type aliases are also supported. Examples:

from collections.abc import Iterable
type Response[S] = Iterable[S] | int
# Return type here is same as Iterable[str] | int
def response(query: str) -> Response[str]:
    ...
type Vec[T] = Iterable[tuple[T, T]]
def inproduct[T: (int, float, complex)](v: Vec[T]) -> T: # Same as Iterable[tuple[T, T]]
    return sum(x*y for x, y in v)

For backward compatibility, generic type aliases can also be created through a simple assignment:

from collections.abc import Iterable
from typing import TypeVar
S = TypeVar("S")
Response = Iterable[S] | int

3.7 版改变： Generic 不再拥有自定义元类。

Changed in version 3.12: Syntactic support for generics and type aliases is new in version 3.12. Previously, generic classes had to explicitly inherit from Generic or contain a type variable in one of their bases.

User-defined generics for parameter expressions are also supported via parameter specification variables in the form [**P] . The behavior is consistent with type variables’ described above as parameter specification variables are treated by the typing module as a specialized type variable. The one exception to this is that a list of types can be used to substitute a ParamSpec :

>>> class Z[T, **P]: ...  # T is a TypeVar; P is a ParamSpec
...
>>> Z[int, [dict, float]]
__main__.Z[int, [dict, float]]

Classes generic over a ParamSpec can also be created using explicit inheritance from Generic 。在此情况下， ** is not used:

from typing import ParamSpec, Generic
P = ParamSpec('P')
class Z(Generic[P]):
    ...

Another difference between TypeVar and ParamSpec is that a generic with only one parameter specification variable will accept parameter lists in the forms X[[Type1, Type2, ...]] and also X[Type1, Type2, ...] for aesthetic reasons. Internally, the latter is converted to the former, so the following are equivalent:

>>> class X[**P]: ...
...
>>> X[int, str]
__main__.X[[int, str]]
>>> X[[int, str]]
__main__.X[[int, str]]

Note that generics with ParamSpec may not have correct __parameters__ after substitution in some cases because they are intended primarily for static type checking.

3.10 版改变： Generic can now be parameterized over parameter expressions. See ParamSpec and PEP 612 了解更多细节。

A user-defined generic class can have ABCs as base classes without a metaclass conflict. Generic metaclasses are not supported. The outcome of parameterizing generics is cached, and most types in the typing module are hashable and comparable for equality.

The `Any` type ¶

A special kind of type is Any . A static type checker will treat every type as being compatible with Any and Any as being compatible with every type.

This means that it is possible to perform any operation or method call on a value of type Any and assign it to any variable:

from typing import Any
a: Any = None
a = []          # OK
a = 2           # OK
s: str = ''
s = a           # OK
def foo(item: Any) -> int:
    # Passes type checking; 'item' could be any type,
    # and that type might have a 'bar' method
    item.bar()
    ...

Notice that no type checking is performed when assigning a value of type Any to a more precise type. For example, the static type checker did not report an error when assigning a to s even though s was declared to be of type str and receives an int value at runtime!

Furthermore, all functions without a return type or parameter types will implicitly default to using Any :

def legacy_parser(text):
    ...
    return data
# A static type checker will treat the above
# as having the same signature as:
def legacy_parser(text: Any) -> Any:
    ...
    return data

This behavior allows Any to be used as an escape hatch when you need to mix dynamically and statically typed code.

Contrast the behavior of Any with the behavior of object . Similar to Any , every type is a subtype of object . However, unlike Any , the reverse is not true: object is not a subtype of every other type.

That means when the type of a value is object , a type checker will reject almost all operations on it, and assigning it to a variable (or using it as a return value) of a more specialized type is a type error. For example:

def hash_a(item: object) -> int:
    # Fails type checking; an object does not have a 'magic' method.
    item.magic()
    ...
def hash_b(item: Any) -> int:
    # Passes type checking
    item.magic()
    ...
# Passes type checking, since ints and strs are subclasses of object
hash_a(42)
hash_a("foo")
# Passes type checking, since Any is compatible with all types
hash_b(42)
hash_b("foo")

使用 object to indicate that a value could be any type in a typesafe manner. Use Any to indicate that a value is dynamically typed.

名义 vs 结构子类型 ¶

Initially PEP 484 defined the Python static type system as using nominal subtyping . This means that a class A is allowed where a class B is expected if and only if A 是子类化的 B .

This requirement previously also applied to abstract base classes, such as Iterable . The problem with this approach is that a class had to be explicitly marked to support them, which is unpythonic and unlike what one would normally do in idiomatic dynamically typed Python code. For example, this conforms to PEP 484 :

from collections.abc import Sized, Iterable, Iterator
class Bucket(Sized, Iterable[int]):
    ...
    def __len__(self) -> int: ...
    def __iter__(self) -> Iterator[int]: ...

PEP 544 allows to solve this problem by allowing users to write the above code without explicit base classes in the class definition, allowing Bucket to be implicitly considered a subtype of both Sized and Iterable[int] by static type checkers. This is known as structural subtyping (or static duck-typing):

from collections.abc import Iterator, Iterable
class Bucket:  # Note: no base classes
    ...
    def __len__(self) -> int: ...
    def __iter__(self) -> Iterator[int]: ...
def collect(items: Iterable[int]) -> int: ...
result = collect(Bucket())  # Passes type check

Moreover, by subclassing a special class Protocol , a user can define new custom protocols to fully enjoy structural subtyping (see examples below).

模块内容 ¶

The typing module defines the following classes, functions and decorators.

特殊 typing 原语 ¶

特殊类型 ¶

These can be used as types in annotations. They do not support subscription using [] .

typing. 任何 ¶

指示无约束类型的特殊类型。

Every type is compatible with Any .
Any is compatible with every type.

3.11 版改变： Any can now be used as a base class. This can be useful for avoiding type checker errors with classes that can duck type anywhere or are highly dynamic.

typing. AnyStr ¶

A constrained type variable .

定义：

AnyStr = TypeVar('AnyStr', str, bytes)

AnyStr is meant to be used for functions that may accept str or bytes arguments but cannot allow the two to mix.

例如：

def concat(a: AnyStr, b: AnyStr) -> AnyStr:
    return a + b
concat("foo", "bar")    # OK, output has type 'str'
concat(b"foo", b"bar")  # OK, output has type 'bytes'
concat("foo", b"bar")   # Error, cannot mix str and bytes

Note that, despite its name, AnyStr has nothing to do with the Any type, nor does it mean “any string”. In particular, AnyStr and str | bytes are different from each other and have different use cases:

# Invalid use of AnyStr:
# The type variable is used only once in the function signature,
# so cannot be "solved" by the type checker
def greet_bad(cond: bool) -> AnyStr:
    return "hi there!" if cond else b"greetings!"
# The better way of annotating this function:
def greet_proper(cond: bool) -> str | bytes:
    return "hi there!" if cond else b"greetings!"

typing. LiteralString ¶

Special type that includes only literal strings.

Any string literal is compatible with LiteralString , as is another LiteralString . However, an object typed as just str is not. A string created by composing LiteralString -typed objects is also acceptable as a LiteralString .

范例：

def run_query(sql: LiteralString) -> None:
    ...
def caller(arbitrary_string: str, literal_string: LiteralString) -> None:
    run_query("SELECT * FROM students")  # OK
    run_query(literal_string)  # OK
    run_query("SELECT * FROM " + literal_string)  # OK
    run_query(arbitrary_string)  # type checker error
    run_query(  # type checker error
        f"SELECT * FROM students WHERE name = {arbitrary_string}"
    )

LiteralString is useful for sensitive APIs where arbitrary user-generated strings could generate problems. For example, the two cases above that generate type checker errors could be vulnerable to an SQL injection attack.

见 PEP 675 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.11.

typing. Never ¶

typing. NoReturn ¶

Never and NoReturn 表示 bottom type , a type that has no members.

They can be used to indicate that a function never returns, such as sys.exit() :

from typing import Never  # or NoReturn
def stop() -> Never:
    raise RuntimeError('no way')

Or to define a function that should never be called, as there are no valid arguments, such as assert_never() :

from typing import Never  # or NoReturn
def never_call_me(arg: Never) -> None:
    pass
def int_or_str(arg: int | str) -> None:
    never_call_me(arg)  # type checker error
    match arg:
        case int():
            print("It's an int")
        case str():
            print("It's a str")
        case _:
            never_call_me(arg)  # OK, arg is of type Never (or NoReturn)

Never and NoReturn have the same meaning in the type system and static type checkers treat both equivalently.

Added in version 3.6.2: 添加 NoReturn .

Added in version 3.11: 添加 Never .

typing. Self ¶

Special type to represent the current enclosed class.

例如：

from typing import Self, reveal_type
class Foo:
    def return_self(self) -> Self:
        ...
        return self
class SubclassOfFoo(Foo): pass
reveal_type(Foo().return_self())  # Revealed type is "Foo"
reveal_type(SubclassOfFoo().return_self())  # Revealed type is "SubclassOfFoo"

This annotation is semantically equivalent to the following, albeit in a more succinct fashion:

from typing import TypeVar
Self = TypeVar("Self", bound="Foo")
class Foo:
    def return_self(self: Self) -> Self:
        ...
        return self

In general, if something returns self , as in the above examples, you should use Self as the return annotation. If Foo.return_self was annotated as returning "Foo" , then the type checker would infer the object returned from SubclassOfFoo.return_self as being of type Foo 而不是 SubclassOfFoo .

Other common use cases include:

classmethod s that are used as alternative constructors and return instances of the cls 参数。
Annotating an __enter__() method which returns self.

You should not use Self as the return annotation if the method is not guaranteed to return an instance of a subclass when the class is subclassed:

class Eggs:
    # Self would be an incorrect return annotation here,
    # as the object returned is always an instance of Eggs,
    # even in subclasses
    def returns_eggs(self) -> "Eggs":
        return Eggs()

见 PEP 673 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.11.

typing. TypeAlias ¶

Special annotation for explicitly declaring a 类型别名 .

例如：

from typing import TypeAlias
Factors: TypeAlias = list[int]

TypeAlias is particularly useful on older Python versions for annotating aliases that make use of forward references, as it can be hard for type checkers to distinguish these from normal variable assignments:

from typing import Generic, TypeAlias, TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
# "Box" does not exist yet,
# so we have to use quotes for the forward reference on Python <3.12.
# Using ``TypeAlias`` tells the type checker that this is a type alias declaration,
# not a variable assignment to a string.
BoxOfStrings: TypeAlias = "Box[str]"
class Box(Generic[T]):
    @classmethod
    def make_box_of_strings(cls) -> BoxOfStrings: ...

见 PEP 613 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.10.

Deprecated since version 3.12: TypeAlias is deprecated in favor of the type statement, which creates instances of TypeAliasType and which natively supports forward references. Note that while TypeAlias and TypeAliasType serve similar purposes and have similar names, they are distinct and the latter is not the type of the former. Removal of TypeAlias is not currently planned, but users are encouraged to migrate to type 语句。

特殊形式 ¶

These can be used as types in annotations. They all support subscription using [] , but each has a unique syntax.

typing. Union ¶

并集类型； Union[X, Y] 相当于 X | Y and means either X or Y.

To define a union, use e.g. Union[int, str] or the shorthand int | str . Using that shorthand is recommended. Details:

The arguments must be types and there must be at least one.

Unions of unions are flattened, e.g.:

Union[Union[int, str], float] == Union[int, str, float]

Unions of a single argument vanish, e.g.:

Union[int] == int  # The constructor actually returns int

Redundant arguments are skipped, e.g.:

Union[int, str, int] == Union[int, str] == int | str

When comparing unions, the argument order is ignored, e.g.:
```
Union[int, str] == Union[str, int]
					
```
You cannot subclass or instantiate a Union .
You cannot write Union[X][Y] .

3.7 版改变： Don’t remove explicit subclasses from unions at runtime.

3.10 版改变： Unions can now be written as X | Y 。见 union type expressions .

typing. 可选 ¶

Optional[X] 相当于 X | None (或 Union[X, None] ).

Note that this is not the same concept as an optional argument, which is one that has a default. An optional argument with a default does not require the Optional qualifier on its type annotation just because it is optional. For example:

def foo(arg: int = 0) -> None:
    ...

On the other hand, if an explicit value of None is allowed, the use of Optional is appropriate, whether the argument is optional or not. For example:

def foo(arg: Optional[int] = None) -> None:
    ...

3.10 版改变： Optional can now be written as X | None 。见 union type expressions .

typing. Concatenate ¶

Special form for annotating higher-order functions.

Concatenate can be used in conjunction with 可调用 and ParamSpec to annotate a higher-order callable which adds, removes, or transforms parameters of another callable. Usage is in the form Concatenate[Arg1Type, Arg2Type, ..., ParamSpecVariable] . Concatenate is currently only valid when used as the first argument to a 可调用 . The last parameter to Concatenate 必须为 ParamSpec or ellipsis ( ... ).

For example, to annotate a decorator with_lock which provides a threading.Lock to the decorated function, Concatenate can be used to indicate that with_lock expects a callable which takes in a Lock as the first argument, and returns a callable with a different type signature. In this case, the ParamSpec indicates that the returned callable’s parameter types are dependent on the parameter types of the callable being passed in:

from collections.abc import Callable
from threading import Lock
from typing import Concatenate
# Use this lock to ensure that only one thread is executing a function
# at any time.
my_lock = Lock()
def with_lock[**P, R](f: Callable[Concatenate[Lock, P], R]) -> Callable[P, R]:
    '''A type-safe decorator which provides a lock.'''
    def inner(*args: P.args, **kwargs: P.kwargs) -> R:
        # Provide the lock as the first argument.
        return f(my_lock, *args, **kwargs)
    return inner
@with_lock
def sum_threadsafe(lock: Lock, numbers: list[float]) -> float:
    '''Add a list of numbers together in a thread-safe manner.'''
    with lock:
        return sum(numbers)
# We don't need to pass in the lock ourselves thanks to the decorator.
sum_threadsafe([1.1, 2.2, 3.3])

Added in version 3.10.

Annotating callable objects

typing. Literal ¶

Special typing form to define “literal types”.

Literal can be used to indicate to type checkers that the annotated object has a value equivalent to one of the provided literals.

例如：

def validate_simple(data: Any) -> Literal[True]:  # always returns True
    ...
type Mode = Literal['r', 'rb', 'w', 'wb']
def open_helper(file: str, mode: Mode) -> str:
    ...
open_helper('/some/path', 'r')      # Passes type check
open_helper('/other/path', 'typo')  # Error in type checker

Literal[...] cannot be subclassed. At runtime, an arbitrary value is allowed as type argument to Literal[...] , but type checkers may impose restrictions. See PEP 586 for more details about literal types.

Added in version 3.8.

3.9.1 版改变： Literal now de-duplicates parameters. Equality comparisons of Literal objects are no longer order dependent. Literal objects will now raise a TypeError exception during equality comparisons if one of their parameters are not hashable .

typing. ClassVar ¶

Special type construct to mark class variables.

As introduced in PEP 526 , a variable annotation wrapped in ClassVar indicates that a given attribute is intended to be used as a class variable and should not be set on instances of that class. Usage:

class Starship:
    stats: ClassVar[dict[str, int]] = {} # class variable
    damage: int = 10                     # instance variable

ClassVar accepts only types and cannot be further subscribed.

ClassVar is not a class itself, and should not be used with isinstance() or issubclass() . ClassVar does not change Python runtime behavior, but it can be used by third-party type checkers. For example, a type checker might flag the following code as an error:

enterprise_d = Starship(3000)
enterprise_d.stats = {} # Error, setting class variable on instance
Starship.stats = {}     # This is OK

Added in version 3.5.3.

typing. Final ¶

Special typing construct to indicate final names to type checkers.

Final names cannot be reassigned in any scope. Final names declared in class scopes cannot be overridden in subclasses.

例如：

MAX_SIZE: Final = 9000
MAX_SIZE += 1  # Error reported by type checker
class Connection:
    TIMEOUT: Final[int] = 10
class FastConnector(Connection):
    TIMEOUT = 1  # Error reported by type checker

There is no runtime checking of these properties. See PEP 591 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.8.

typing. Required ¶

Special typing construct to mark a TypedDict key as required.

This is mainly useful for total=False TypedDicts. See TypedDict and PEP 655 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.11.

typing. NotRequired ¶

Special typing construct to mark a TypedDict key as potentially missing.

见 TypedDict and PEP 655 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.11.

typing. Annotated ¶

Special typing form to add context-specific metadata to an annotation.

Add metadata x to a given type T by using the annotation Annotated[T, x] . Metadata added using Annotated can be used by static analysis tools or at runtime. At runtime, the metadata is stored in a __metadata__ 属性。

If a library or tool encounters an annotation Annotated[T, x] and has no special logic for the metadata, it should ignore the metadata and simply treat the annotation as T . As such, Annotated can be useful for code that wants to use annotations for purposes outside Python’s static typing system.

使用 Annotated[T, x] as an annotation still allows for static typechecking of T , as type checkers will simply ignore the metadata x . In this way, Annotated differs from the @no_type_check decorator, which can also be used for adding annotations outside the scope of the typing system, but completely disables typechecking for a function or class.

The responsibility of how to interpret the metadata lies with the tool or library encountering an Annotated annotation. A tool or library encountering an Annotated type can scan through the metadata elements to determine if they are of interest (e.g., using isinstance() ).

Annotated[<type>, <metadata>]

Here is an example of how you might use Annotated to add metadata to type annotations if you were doing range analysis:

@dataclass
class ValueRange:
    lo: int
    hi: int
T1 = Annotated[int, ValueRange(-10, 5)]
T2 = Annotated[T1, ValueRange(-20, 3)]

Details of the syntax:

The first argument to Annotated must be a valid type
Multiple metadata elements can be supplied ( Annotated supports variadic arguments):
```
@dataclass
class ctype:
    kind: str
Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char")]
					
```
It is up to the tool consuming the annotations to decide whether the client is allowed to add multiple metadata elements to one annotation and how to merge those annotations.
Annotated must be subscripted with at least two arguments ( Annotated[int] is not valid)

The order of the metadata elements is preserved and matters for equality checks:

assert Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char")] != Annotated[
    int, ctype("char"), ValueRange(3, 10)
]

Nested Annotated types are flattened. The order of the metadata elements starts with the innermost annotation:

assert Annotated[Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10)], ctype("char")] == Annotated[
    int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char")
]

Duplicated metadata elements are not removed:

assert Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10)] != Annotated[
    int, ValueRange(3, 10), ValueRange(3, 10)
]

Annotated can be used with nested and generic aliases:

@dataclass
class MaxLen:
    value: int
type Vec[T] = Annotated[list[tuple[T, T]], MaxLen(10)]
# When used in a type annotation, a type checker will treat "V" the same as
# ``Annotated[list[tuple[int, int]], MaxLen(10)]``:
type V = Vec[int]

Annotated cannot be used with an unpacked TypeVarTuple :
```
type Variadic[*Ts] = Annotated[*Ts, Ann1]  # NOT valid
					
```
This would be equivalent to:
```
Annotated[T1, T2, T3, ..., Ann1]
					
```
where T1 , T2 , etc. are TypeVars . This would be invalid: only one type should be passed to Annotated.

默认情况下， get_type_hints() strips the metadata from annotations. Pass include_extras=True to have the metadata preserved:

>>> from typing import Annotated, get_type_hints
>>> def func(x: Annotated[int, "metadata"]) -> None: pass
...
>>> get_type_hints(func)
{'x': <class 'int'>, 'return': <class 'NoneType'>}
>>> get_type_hints(func, include_extras=True)
{'x': typing.Annotated[int, 'metadata'], 'return': <class 'NoneType'>}

At runtime, the metadata associated with an Annotated type can be retrieved via the __metadata__ 属性：

>>> from typing import Annotated
>>> X = Annotated[int, "very", "important", "metadata"]
>>> X
typing.Annotated[int, 'very', 'important', 'metadata']
>>> X.__metadata__
('very', 'important', 'metadata')

PEP 593 - Flexible function and variable annotations: The PEP introducing Annotated to the standard library.

Added in version 3.9.

typing. TypeGuard ¶

Special typing construct for marking user-defined type guard functions.

TypeGuard can be used to annotate the return type of a user-defined type guard function. TypeGuard only accepts a single type argument. 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 guard”:

def is_str(val: str | float):
    # "isinstance" type guard
    if isinstance(val, str):
        # Type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``str``
        ...
    else:
        # Else, type of ``val`` is narrowed to ``float``.
        ...

Sometimes it would be convenient to use a user-defined boolean function as a type guard. Such a function should use TypeGuard[...] as its return type to alert static type checkers to this intention.

使用 -> TypeGuard tells the static type checker that for a given function:

The return value is a boolean.
If the return value is True , the type of its argument is the type inside TypeGuard .

例如：

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!")

若 is_str_list is a class or instance method, then the type in TypeGuard maps to the type of the second parameter after cls or self .

In short, the form def foo(arg: TypeA) -> TypeGuard[TypeB]: ... , means that if foo(arg) 返回 True ，那么 arg narrows from TypeA to TypeB .

注意

TypeB need not be a narrower form of TypeA – it can even be a wider form. 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 guards is left to the user.

TypeGuard also works with type variables. See PEP 647 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.10.

typing. Unpack ¶

Typing operator to conceptually mark an object as having been unpacked.

For example, using the unpack operator * 在 type variable tuple is equivalent to using Unpack to mark the type variable tuple as having been unpacked:

Ts = TypeVarTuple('Ts')
tup: tuple[*Ts]
# Effectively does:
tup: tuple[Unpack[Ts]]

In fact, Unpack can be used interchangeably with * in the context of typing.TypeVarTuple and builtins.tuple types. You might see Unpack being used explicitly in older versions of Python, where * couldn’t be used in certain places:

# In older versions of Python, TypeVarTuple and Unpack
# are located in the `typing_extensions` backports package.
from typing_extensions import TypeVarTuple, Unpack
Ts = TypeVarTuple('Ts')
tup: tuple[*Ts]         # Syntax error on Python <= 3.10!
tup: tuple[Unpack[Ts]]  # Semantically equivalent, and backwards-compatible

Unpack can also be used along with typing.TypedDict for typing **kwargs in a function signature:

from typing import TypedDict, Unpack
class Movie(TypedDict):
    name: str
    year: int
# This function expects two keyword arguments - `name` of type `str`
# and `year` of type `int`.
def foo(**kwargs: Unpack[Movie]): ...

见 PEP 692 for more details on using Unpack for **kwargs typing.

Added in version 3.11.

Building generic types and type aliases ¶

The following classes should not be used directly as annotations. Their intended purpose is to be building blocks for creating generic types and type aliases.

These objects can be created through special syntax ( type parameter lists 和 type statement). For compatibility with Python 3.11 and earlier, they can also be created without the dedicated syntax, as documented below.

class typing. 一般 ¶

用于一般类型的 ABC (抽象基类)。

A generic type is typically declared by adding a list of type parameters after the class name:

class Mapping[KT, VT]:
    def __getitem__(self, key: KT) -> VT:
        ...
        # Etc.

Such a class implicitly inherits from Generic . The runtime semantics of this syntax are discussed in the 语言参考 .

This class can then be used as follows:

def lookup_name[X, Y](mapping: Mapping[X, Y], key: X, default: Y) -> Y:
    try:
        return mapping[key]
    except KeyError:
        return default

Here the brackets after the function name indicate a 一般函数 .

For backwards compatibility, generic classes can also be declared by explicitly inheriting from Generic . In this case, the type parameters must be declared separately:

KT = TypeVar('KT')
VT = TypeVar('VT')
class Mapping(Generic[KT, VT]):
    def __getitem__(self, key: KT) -> VT:
        ...
        # Etc.

class typing. TypeVar ( name , * constraints , bound = None , covariant = False , contravariant = False , infer_variance = False ) ¶

类型变量。

The preferred way to construct a type variable is via the dedicated syntax for generic functions , generic classes ，和 generic type aliases :

class Sequence[T]:  # T is a TypeVar
    ...

This syntax can also be used to create bound and constrained type variables:

class StrSequence[S: str]:  # S is a TypeVar bound to str
    ...
class StrOrBytesSequence[A: (str, bytes)]:  # A is a TypeVar constrained to str or bytes
    ...

However, if desired, reusable type variables can also be constructed manually, like so:

T = TypeVar('T')  # Can be anything
S = TypeVar('S', bound=str)  # Can be any subtype of str
A = TypeVar('A', str, bytes)  # Must be exactly str or bytes

Type variables exist primarily for the benefit of static type checkers. They serve as the parameters for generic types as well as for generic function and type alias definitions. See Generic for more information on generic types. Generic functions work as follows:

def repeat[T](x: T, n: int) -> Sequence[T]:
    """Return a list containing n references to x."""
    return [x]*n
def print_capitalized[S: str](x: S) -> S:
    """Print x capitalized, and return x."""
    print(x.capitalize())
    return x
def concatenate[A: (str, bytes)](x: A, y: A) -> A:
    """Add two strings or bytes objects together."""
    return x + y

Note that type variables can be bound , constrained , or neither, but cannot be both bound and constrained.

The variance of type variables is inferred by type checkers when they are created through the type parameter syntax or when infer_variance=True is passed. Manually created type variables may be explicitly marked covariant or contravariant by passing covariant=True or contravariant=True . By default, manually created type variables are invariant. See PEP 484 and PEP 695 了解更多细节。

Bound type variables and constrained type variables have different semantics in several important ways. Using a bound type variable means that the TypeVar will be solved using the most specific type possible:

x = print_capitalized('a string')
reveal_type(x)  # revealed type is str
class StringSubclass(str):
    pass
y = print_capitalized(StringSubclass('another string'))
reveal_type(y)  # revealed type is StringSubclass
z = print_capitalized(45)  # error: int is not a subtype of str

Type variables can be bound to concrete types, abstract types (ABCs or protocols), and even unions of types:

# Can be anything with an __abs__ method
def print_abs[T: SupportsAbs](arg: T) -> None:
    print("Absolute value:", abs(arg))
U = TypeVar('U', bound=str|bytes)  # Can be any subtype of the union str|bytes
V = TypeVar('V', bound=SupportsAbs)  # Can be anything with an __abs__ method

使用 constrained type variable, however, means that the TypeVar can only ever be solved as being exactly one of the constraints given:

a = concatenate('one', 'two')
reveal_type(a)  # revealed type is str
b = concatenate(StringSubclass('one'), StringSubclass('two'))
reveal_type(b)  # revealed type is str, despite StringSubclass being passed in
c = concatenate('one', b'two')  # error: type variable 'A' can be either str or bytes in a function call, but not both

At runtime, isinstance(x, T) 会引发 TypeError .

__name__ ¶: The name of the type variable.

__covariant__ ¶

__contravariant__ ¶

__infer_variance__ ¶

Whether the type variable’s variance should be inferred by type checkers.

3.12 版添加。

__bound__ ¶

The bound of the type variable, if any.

Changed in version 3.12: For type variables created through type parameter syntax , the bound is evaluated only when the attribute is accessed, not when the type variable is created (see Lazy evaluation ).

__constraints__ ¶

A tuple containing the constraints of the type variable, if any.

Changed in version 3.12: For type variables created through type parameter syntax , the constraints are evaluated only when the attribute is accessed, not when the type variable is created (see Lazy evaluation ).

Changed in version 3.12: Type variables can now be declared using the type parameter syntax introduced by PEP 695 。 infer_variance 参数被添加。

class typing. TypeVarTuple ( name ) ¶

Type variable tuple. A specialized form of type variable that enables variadic generics.

Type variable tuples can be declared in type parameter lists using a single asterisk ( * ) before the name:

def move_first_element_to_last[T, *Ts](tup: tuple[T, *Ts]) -> tuple[*Ts, T]:
    return (*tup[1:], tup[0])

Or by explicitly invoking the TypeVarTuple 构造函数：

T = TypeVar("T")
Ts = TypeVarTuple("Ts")
def move_first_element_to_last(tup: tuple[T, *Ts]) -> tuple[*Ts, T]:
    return (*tup[1:], tup[0])

A normal type variable enables parameterization with a single type. A type variable tuple, in contrast, allows parameterization with an arbitrary number of types by acting like an arbitrary number of type variables wrapped in a tuple. For example:

# T is bound to int, Ts is bound to ()
# Return value is (1,), which has type tuple[int]
move_first_element_to_last(tup=(1,))
# T is bound to int, Ts is bound to (str,)
# Return value is ('spam', 1), which has type tuple[str, int]
move_first_element_to_last(tup=(1, 'spam'))
# T is bound to int, Ts is bound to (str, float)
# Return value is ('spam', 3.0, 1), which has type tuple[str, float, int]
move_first_element_to_last(tup=(1, 'spam', 3.0))
# This fails to type check (and fails at runtime)
# because tuple[()] is not compatible with tuple[T, *Ts]
# (at least one element is required)
move_first_element_to_last(tup=())

Note the use of the unpacking operator * in tuple[T, *Ts] . Conceptually, you can think of Ts as a tuple of type variables (T1, T2, ...) . tuple[T, *Ts] would then become tuple[T, *(T1, T2, ...)] , which is equivalent to tuple[T, T1, T2, ...] . (Note that in older versions of Python, you might see this written using Unpack instead, as Unpack[Ts] )。

Type variable tuples must always be unpacked. This helps distinguish type variable tuples from normal type variables:

x: Ts          # Not valid
x: tuple[Ts]   # Not valid
x: tuple[*Ts]  # The correct way to do it

Type variable tuples can be used in the same contexts as normal type variables. For example, in class definitions, arguments, and return types:

class Array[*Shape]:
    def __getitem__(self, key: tuple[*Shape]) -> float: ...
    def __abs__(self) -> "Array[*Shape]": ...
    def get_shape(self) -> tuple[*Shape]: ...

Type variable tuples can be happily combined with normal type variables:

class Array[DType, *Shape]:  # This is fine
    pass
class Array2[*Shape, DType]:  # This would also be fine
    pass
class Height: ...
class Width: ...
float_array_1d: Array[float, Height] = Array()     # Totally fine
int_array_2d: Array[int, Height, Width] = Array()  # Yup, fine too

However, note that at most one type variable tuple may appear in a single list of type arguments or type parameters:

x: tuple[*Ts, *Ts]            # Not valid
class Array[*Shape, *Shape]:  # Not valid
    pass

Finally, an unpacked type variable tuple can be used as the type annotation of *args :

def call_soon[*Ts](
         callback: Callable[[*Ts], None],
         *args: *Ts
) -> None:
    ...
    callback(*args)

In contrast to non-unpacked annotations of *args - e.g. *args: int , which would specify that all arguments are int - *args: *Ts enables reference to the types of the individual arguments in *args . Here, this allows us to ensure the types of the *args passed to call_soon match the types of the (positional) arguments of callback .

见 PEP 646 for more details on type variable tuples.

__name__ ¶: The name of the type variable tuple.

Added in version 3.11.

Changed in version 3.12: Type variable tuples can now be declared using the type parameter syntax introduced by PEP 695 .

class typing. ParamSpec ( name , * , bound = None , covariant = False , contravariant = False ) ¶

Parameter specification variable. A specialized version of 类型变量 .

在 type parameter lists , parameter specifications can be declared with two asterisks ( ** ):

type IntFunc[**P] = Callable[P, int]

For compatibility with Python 3.11 and earlier, ParamSpec objects can also be created as follows:

P = ParamSpec('P')

Parameter specification variables exist primarily for the benefit of static type checkers. They are used to forward the parameter types of one callable to another callable – a pattern commonly found in higher order functions and decorators. They are only valid when used in Concatenate , or as the first argument to Callable , or as parameters for user-defined Generics. See Generic for more information on generic types.

For example, to add basic logging to a function, one can create a decorator add_logging to log function calls. The parameter specification variable tells the type checker that the callable passed into the decorator and the new callable returned by it have inter-dependent type parameters:

from collections.abc import Callable
import logging
def add_logging[T, **P](f: Callable[P, T]) -> Callable[P, T]:
    '''A type-safe decorator to add logging to a function.'''
    def inner(*args: P.args, **kwargs: P.kwargs) -> T:
        logging.info(f'{f.__name__} was called')
        return f(*args, **kwargs)
    return inner
@add_logging
def add_two(x: float, y: float) -> float:
    '''Add two numbers together.'''
    return x + y

Without ParamSpec , the simplest way to annotate this previously was to use a TypeVar with bound Callable[..., Any] . However this causes two problems:

The type checker can’t type check the inner function because *args and **kwargs have to be typed Any .
cast() may be required in the body of the add_logging decorator when returning the inner function, or the static type checker must be told to ignore the return inner .

args ¶

kwargs ¶: 由于 ParamSpec captures both positional and keyword parameters, P.args and P.kwargs can be used to split a ParamSpec into its components. P.args represents the tuple of positional parameters in a given call and should only be used to annotate *args . P.kwargs represents the mapping of keyword parameters to their values in a given call, and should be only be used to annotate **kwargs . Both attributes require the annotated parameter to be in scope. At runtime, P.args and P.kwargs are instances respectively of ParamSpecArgs and ParamSpecKwargs .

__name__ ¶: The name of the parameter specification.

Parameter specification variables created with covariant=True or contravariant=True can be used to declare covariant or contravariant generic types. The bound argument is also accepted, similar to TypeVar . However the actual semantics of these keywords are yet to be decided.

Added in version 3.10.

Changed in version 3.12: Parameter specifications can now be declared using the type parameter syntax introduced by PEP 695 .

注意

Only parameter specification variables defined in global scope can be pickled.

class typing. NamedTuple ¶

类型化版本的 collections.namedtuple() .

用法：

class Employee(NamedTuple):
    name: str

这相当于：

Employee = collections.namedtuple('Employee', ['name', 'id'])

    id: int = 3
employee = Employee('Guido')
assert employee.id == 3

Fields with a default value must come after any fields without a default.

The resulting class has an extra attribute __annotations__ giving a dict that maps the field names to the field types. (The field names are in the _fields attribute and the default values are in the _field_defaults attribute, both of which are part of the namedtuple() API.)

NamedTuple subclasses can also have docstrings and methods:

class Employee(NamedTuple):
    """Represents an employee."""
    name: str
    id: int = 3
    def __repr__(self) -> str:
        return f'<Employee {self.name}, id={self.id}>'

NamedTuple subclasses can be generic:

class Group[T](NamedTuple):
    key: T
    group: list[T]

Backward-compatible usage:

# For creating a generic NamedTuple on Python 3.11 or lower
class Group(NamedTuple, Generic[T]):
    key: T
    group: list[T]
# A functional syntax is also supported
Employee = NamedTuple('Employee', [('name', str), ('id', int)])

3.6 版改变：添加支持 PEP 526 变量注解句法。

3.6.1 版改变： Added support for default values, methods, and docstrings.

3.8 版改变： The _field_types and __annotations__ attributes are now regular dictionaries instead of instances of OrderedDict .

3.9 版改变：移除 _field_types attribute in favor of the more standard __annotations__ attribute which has the same information.

3.11 版改变： Added support for generic namedtuples.

class typing. NewType ( name , tp ) ¶

Helper class to create low-overhead distinct types .

A NewType is considered a distinct type by a typechecker. At runtime, however, calling a NewType returns its argument unchanged.

用法：

UserId = NewType('UserId', int)  # Declare the NewType "UserId"
first_user = UserId(1)  # "UserId" returns the argument unchanged at runtime

__module__ ¶: The module in which the new type is defined.

__name__ ¶: The name of the new type.

__supertype__ ¶: The type that the new type is based on.

Added in version 3.5.2.

3.10 版改变： NewType 现在是类而不是函数。

class typing. Protocol ( 一般 ) ¶

Base class for protocol classes.

Protocol classes are defined like this:

class Proto(Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> int:
        ...

Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing), for example:

class C:
    def meth(self) -> int:
        return 0
def func(x: Proto) -> int:
    return x.meth()
func(C())  # Passes static type check

见 PEP 544 for more details. Protocol classes decorated with runtime_checkable() (described later) act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures.

协议类可以是一般的，例如：

class GenProto[T](Protocol):
    def meth(self) -> T:
        ...

In code that needs to be compatible with Python 3.11 or older, generic Protocols can be written as follows:

T = TypeVar("T")
class GenProto(Protocol[T]):
    def meth(self) -> T:
        ...

Added in version 3.8.

@ typing. runtime_checkable ¶

Mark a protocol class as a runtime protocol.

Such a protocol can be used with isinstance() and issubclass() 。这引发 TypeError when applied to a non-protocol class. This allows a simple-minded structural check, very similar to “one trick ponies” in collections.abc 譬如 Iterable 。例如：

@runtime_checkable
class Closable(Protocol):
    def close(self): ...
assert isinstance(open('/some/file'), Closable)
@runtime_checkable
class Named(Protocol):
    name: str
import threading
assert isinstance(threading.Thread(name='Bob'), Named)

注意

runtime_checkable() will check only the presence of the required methods or attributes, not their type signatures or types. For example, ssl.SSLObject is a class, therefore it passes an issubclass() check against 可调用。不管怎样， ssl.SSLObject.__init__ method exists only to raise a TypeError with a more informative message, therefore making it impossible to call (instantiate) ssl.SSLObject .

注意

An isinstance() check against a runtime-checkable protocol can be surprisingly slow compared to an isinstance() check against a non-protocol class. Consider using alternative idioms such as hasattr() calls for structural checks in performance-sensitive code.

Added in version 3.8.

Changed in version 3.12: The internal implementation of isinstance() checks against runtime-checkable protocols now uses inspect.getattr_static() to look up attributes (previously, hasattr() was used). As a result, some objects which used to be considered instances of a runtime-checkable protocol may no longer be considered instances of that protocol on Python 3.12+, and vice versa. Most users are unlikely to be affected by this change.

Changed in version 3.12: The members of a runtime-checkable protocol are now considered “frozen” at runtime as soon as the class has been created. Monkey-patching attributes onto a runtime-checkable protocol will still work, but will have no impact on isinstance() checks comparing objects to the protocol. See “What’s new in Python 3.12” 了解更多细节。

class typing. TypedDict ( dict ) ¶

Special construct to add type hints to a dictionary. At runtime it is a plain dict .

TypedDict declares a dictionary type that expects all of its instances to have a certain set of keys, where each key is associated with a value of a consistent type. This expectation is not checked at runtime but is only enforced by type checkers. Usage:

class Point2D(TypedDict):
    x: int
    y: int
    label: str
a: Point2D = {'x': 1, 'y': 2, 'label': 'good'}  # OK
b: Point2D = {'z': 3, 'label': 'bad'}           # Fails type check
assert Point2D(x=1, y=2, label='first') == dict(x=1, y=2, label='first')

To allow using this feature with older versions of Python that do not support PEP 526 , TypedDict supports two additional equivalent syntactic forms:

Using a literal dict as the second argument:

Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', {'x': int, 'y': int, 'label': str})

Using keyword arguments:
```
Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', x=int, y=int, label=str)
									
```
Deprecated since version 3.11, will be removed in version 3.13: The keyword-argument syntax is deprecated in 3.11 and will be removed in 3.13. It may also be unsupported by static type checkers.

The functional syntax should also be used when any of the keys are not valid identifiers , for example because they are keywords or contain hyphens. Example:

# raises SyntaxError
class Point2D(TypedDict):
    in: int  # 'in' is a keyword
    x-y: int  # name with hyphens
# OK, functional syntax
Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', {'in': int, 'x-y': int})

By default, all keys must be present in a TypedDict . It is possible to mark individual keys as non-required using NotRequired :

class Point2D(TypedDict):
    x: int
    y: int
    label: NotRequired[str]
# Alternative syntax
Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', {'x': int, 'y': int, 'label': NotRequired[str]})

This means that a Point2D TypedDict can have the label key omitted.

It is also possible to mark all keys as non-required by default by specifying a totality of False :

class Point2D(TypedDict, total=False):
    x: int
    y: int
# Alternative syntax
Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', {'x': int, 'y': int}, total=False)

This means that a Point2D TypedDict can have any of the keys omitted. A type checker is only expected to support a literal False or True as the value of the total 自变量。 True is the default, and makes all items defined in the class body required.

Individual keys of a total=False TypedDict can be marked as required using Required :

class Point2D(TypedDict, total=False):
    x: Required[int]
    y: Required[int]
    label: str
# Alternative syntax
Point2D = TypedDict('Point2D', {
    'x': Required[int],
    'y': Required[int],
    'label': str
}, total=False)

It is possible for a TypedDict type to inherit from one or more other TypedDict types using the class-based syntax. Usage:

class Point3D(Point2D):
    z: int

Point3D has three items: x , y and z . It is equivalent to this definition:

class Point3D(TypedDict):
    x: int
    y: int
    z: int

A TypedDict cannot inherit from a non- TypedDict class, except for Generic 。例如：

class X(TypedDict):
    x: int
class Y(TypedDict):
    y: int
class Z(object): pass  # A non-TypedDict class
class XY(X, Y): pass  # OK
class XZ(X, Z): pass  # raises TypeError

A TypedDict can be generic:

class Group[T](TypedDict):
    key: T
    group: list[T]

To create a generic TypedDict that is compatible with Python 3.11 or lower, inherit from Generic explicitly:

T = TypeVar("T")
class Group(TypedDict, Generic[T]):
    key: T
    group: list[T]

A TypedDict can be introspected via annotations dicts (see 注解最佳实践 for more information on annotations best practices), __total__ , __required_keys__ ，和 __optional_keys__ .

__total__ ¶

Point2D.__total__ gives the value of the total 自变量。范例：

>>> from typing import TypedDict
>>> class Point2D(TypedDict): pass
>>> Point2D.__total__
True
>>> class Point2D(TypedDict, total=False): pass
>>> Point2D.__total__
False
>>> class Point3D(Point2D): pass
>>> Point3D.__total__
True

This attribute reflects only the value of the total argument to the current TypedDict class, not whether the class is semantically total. For example, a TypedDict with __total__ 设为 True may have keys marked with NotRequired , or it may inherit from another TypedDict with total=False . Therefore, it is generally better to use __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__ for introspection.

__required_keys__ ¶: Added in version 3.9.

__optional_keys__ ¶

Point2D.__required_keys__ and Point2D.__optional_keys__ return frozenset objects containing required and non-required keys, respectively.

Keys marked with Required will always appear in __required_keys__ and keys marked with NotRequired will always appear in __optional_keys__ .

For backwards compatibility with Python 3.10 and below, it is also possible to use inheritance to declare both required and non-required keys in the same TypedDict . This is done by declaring a TypedDict with one value for the total argument and then inheriting from it in another TypedDict with a different value for total :

>>> class Point2D(TypedDict, total=False):
...     x: int
...     y: int
...
>>> class Point3D(Point2D):
...     z: int
...
>>> Point3D.__required_keys__ == frozenset({'z'})
True
>>> Point3D.__optional_keys__ == frozenset({'x', 'y'})
True

Added in version 3.9.

注意

若 from __future__ import annotations is used or if annotations are given as strings, annotations are not evaluated when the TypedDict is defined. Therefore, the runtime introspection that __required_keys__ and __optional_keys__ rely on may not work properly, and the values of the attributes may be incorrect.

见 PEP 589 for more examples and detailed rules of using TypedDict .

Added in version 3.8.

3.11 版改变： Added support for marking individual keys as Required or NotRequired 。见 PEP 655 .

3.11 版改变： Added support for generic TypedDict 。

协议 ¶

The following protocols are provided by the typing module. All are decorated with @runtime_checkable .

class typing. SupportsAbs ¶: ABC (抽象基类) 具有一抽象方法 __abs__ that is covariant in its return type.

class typing. SupportsBytes ¶: ABC (抽象基类) 具有一抽象方法 __bytes__ .

class typing. SupportsComplex ¶: ABC (抽象基类) 具有一抽象方法 __complex__ .

class typing. TextIO ¶
class typing. BinaryIO ¶: 一般类型 IO[AnyStr] 及其子类 TextIO(IO[str]) and BinaryIO(IO[bytes]) represent the types of I/O streams such as returned by open() .

函数和装饰器 ¶

typing. cast ( typ , val ) ¶

Cast a value to a type.

This returns the value unchanged. To the type checker this signals that the return value has the designated type, but at runtime we intentionally don’t check anything (we want this to be as fast as possible).

typing. assert_type ( val , typ , / ) ¶

Ask a static type checker to confirm that val has an inferred type of typ .

At runtime this does nothing: it returns the first argument unchanged with no checks or side effects, no matter the actual type of the argument.

When a static type checker encounters a call to assert_type() , it emits an error if the value is not of the specified type:

def greet(name: str) -> None:
    assert_type(name, str)  # OK, inferred type of `name` is `str`
    assert_type(name, int)  # type checker error

This function is useful for ensuring the type checker’s understanding of a script is in line with the developer’s intentions:

def complex_function(arg: object):
    # Do some complex type-narrowing logic,
    # after which we hope the inferred type will be `int`
    ...
    # Test whether the type checker correctly understands our function
    assert_type(arg, int)

Added in version 3.11.

typing. assert_never ( arg , / ) ¶

Ask a static type checker to confirm that a line of code is unreachable.

范例：

def int_or_str(arg: int | str) -> None:
    match arg:
        case int():
            print("It's an int")
        case str():
            print("It's a str")
        case _ as unreachable:
            assert_never(unreachable)

Here, the annotations allow the type checker to infer that the last case can never execute, because arg is either an int 或 str , and both options are covered by earlier cases.

If a type checker finds that a call to assert_never() is reachable, it will emit an error. For example, if the type annotation for arg was instead int | str | float , the type checker would emit an error pointing out that unreachable 是类型 float . For a call to assert_never to pass type checking, the inferred type of the argument passed in must be the bottom type, Never , and nothing else.

At runtime, this throws an exception when called.

另请参阅

Unreachable Code and Exhaustiveness Checking has more information about exhaustiveness checking with static typing.

Added in version 3.11.

typing. reveal_type ( obj , / ) ¶

Ask a static type checker to reveal the inferred type of an expression.

When a static type checker encounters a call to this function, it emits a diagnostic with the inferred type of the argument. For example:

x: int = 1
reveal_type(x)  # Revealed type is "builtins.int"

This can be useful when you want to debug how your type checker handles a particular piece of code.

At runtime, this function prints the runtime type of its argument to sys.stderr and returns the argument unchanged (allowing the call to be used within an expression):

x = reveal_type(1)  # prints "Runtime type is int"
print(x)  # prints "1"

Note that the runtime type may be different from (more or less specific than) the type statically inferred by a type checker.

Most type checkers support reveal_type() anywhere, even if the name is not imported from typing . Importing the name from typing , however, allows your code to run without runtime errors and communicates intent more clearly.

Added in version 3.11.

@ typing. dataclass_transform ( * , eq_default = True , order_default = False , kw_only_default = False , frozen_default = False , field_specifiers = () , ** kwargs ) ¶

Decorator to mark an object as providing dataclass -like behavior.

dataclass_transform may be used to decorate a class, metaclass, or a function that is itself a decorator. The presence of @dataclass_transform() tells a static type checker that the decorated object performs runtime “magic” that transforms a class in a similar way to @dataclasses.dataclass .

Example usage with a decorator function:

@dataclass_transform()
def create_model[T](cls: type[T]) -> type[T]:
    ...
    return cls
@create_model
class CustomerModel:
    id: int
    name: str

On a base class:

@dataclass_transform()
class ModelBase: ...
class CustomerModel(ModelBase):
    id: int
    name: str

On a metaclass:

@dataclass_transform()
class ModelMeta(type): ...
class ModelBase(metaclass=ModelMeta): ...
class CustomerModel(ModelBase):
    id: int
    name: str

The CustomerModel classes defined above will be treated by type checkers similarly to classes created with @dataclasses.dataclass . For example, type checkers will assume these classes have __init__ methods that accept id and name .

The decorated class, metaclass, or function may accept the following bool arguments which type checkers will assume have the same effect as they would have on the @dataclasses.dataclass decorator: init , eq , order , unsafe_hash , frozen , match_args , kw_only ，和 slots . It must be possible for the value of these arguments ( True or False ) to be statically evaluated.

The arguments to the dataclass_transform decorator can be used to customize the default behaviors of the decorated class, metaclass, or function:

参数 :

eq_default ( bool ) – Indicates whether the eq parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller. Defaults to True .
order_default ( bool ) – Indicates whether the order parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller. Defaults to False .
kw_only_default ( bool ) – Indicates whether the kw_only parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller. Defaults to False .
frozen_default ( bool ) –
Indicates whether the frozen parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller. Defaults to False .

3.12 版添加。

field_specifiers ( tuple [ 可调用 [ ... , 任何 ] , ... ] ) – Specifies a static list of supported classes or functions that describe fields, similar to dataclasses.field() 。默认为 () .

**kwargs ( 任何 ) – Arbitrary other keyword arguments are accepted in order to allow for possible future extensions.

Type checkers recognize the following optional parameters on field specifiers:

**Recognised parameters for field specifiers** ¶
Parameter name	描述
`init`	Indicates whether the field should be included in the synthesized `__init__` method. If unspecified, `init` 默认为 `True` .
`default`	Provides the default value for the field.
`default_factory`	Provides a runtime callback that returns the default value for the field. If neither `default` nor `default_factory` are specified, the field is assumed to have no default value and must be provided a value when the class is instantiated.
`factory`	An alias for the `default_factory` parameter on field specifiers.
`kw_only`	Indicates whether the field should be marked as keyword-only. If `True` , the field will be keyword-only. If `False` , it will not be keyword-only. If unspecified, the value of the `kw_only` parameter on the object decorated with `dataclass_transform` will be used, or if that is unspecified, the value of `kw_only_default` on `dataclass_transform` 会被使用。
`alias`	Provides an alternative name for the field. This alternative name is used in the synthesized `__init__` 方法。

At runtime, this decorator records its arguments in the __dataclass_transform__ attribute on the decorated object. It has no other runtime effect.

见 PEP 681 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.11.

@ typing. overload ¶

Decorator for creating overloaded functions and methods.

The @overload decorator allows describing functions and methods that support multiple different combinations of argument types. A series of @overload -decorated definitions must be followed by exactly one non- @overload -decorated definition (for the same function/method).

@overload -decorated definitions are for the benefit of the type checker only, since they will be overwritten by the non- @overload -decorated definition. The non- @overload -decorated definition, meanwhile, will be used at runtime but should be ignored by a type checker. At runtime, calling an @overload -decorated function directly will raise NotImplementedError .

An example of overload that gives a more precise type than can be expressed using a union or a type variable:

@overload
def process(response: None) -> None:
    ...
@overload
def process(response: int) -> tuple[int, str]:
    ...
@overload
def process(response: bytes) -> str:
    ...
def process(response):
    ...  # actual implementation goes here

见 PEP 484 for more details and comparison with other typing semantics.

3.11 版改变： Overloaded functions can now be introspected at runtime using get_overloads() .

typing. get_overloads ( func ) ¶

Return a sequence of @overload -decorated definitions for func .

func is the function object for the implementation of the overloaded function. For example, given the definition of process in the documentation for @overload , get_overloads(process) will return a sequence of three function objects for the three defined overloads. If called on a function with no overloads, get_overloads() returns an empty sequence.

get_overloads() can be used for introspecting an overloaded function at runtime.

Added in version 3.11.

typing. clear_overloads ( ) ¶

Clear all registered overloads in the internal registry.

This can be used to reclaim the memory used by the registry.

Added in version 3.11.

@ typing. final ¶

Decorator to indicate final methods and final classes.

Decorating a method with @final indicates to a type checker that the method cannot be overridden in a subclass. Decorating a class with @final indicates that it cannot be subclassed.

例如：

class Base:
    @final
    def done(self) -> None:
        ...
class Sub(Base):
    def done(self) -> None:  # Error reported by type checker
        ...
@final
class Leaf:
    ...
class Other(Leaf):  # Error reported by type checker
    ...

There is no runtime checking of these properties. See PEP 591 了解更多细节。

Added in version 3.8.

3.11 版改变： The decorator will now attempt to set a __final__ 属性为 True on the decorated object. Thus, a check like if getattr(obj, "__final__", False) can be used at runtime to determine whether an object obj has been marked as final. If the decorated object does not support setting attributes, the decorator returns the object unchanged without raising an exception.

@ typing. no_type_check ¶

Decorator to indicate that annotations are not type hints.

This works as a class or function 装饰器 . With a class, it applies recursively to all methods and classes defined in that class (but not to methods defined in its superclasses or subclasses). Type checkers will ignore all annotations in a function or class with this decorator.

@no_type_check mutates the decorated object in place.

@ typing. no_type_check_decorator ¶

Decorator to give another decorator the no_type_check() 效果。

This wraps the decorator with something that wraps the decorated function in no_type_check() .

@ typing. override ¶

Decorator to indicate that a method in a subclass is intended to override a method or attribute in a superclass.

Type checkers should emit an error if a method decorated with @override does not, in fact, override anything. This helps prevent bugs that may occur when a base class is changed without an equivalent change to a child class.

例如：

class Base:
    def log_status(self) -> None:
        ...
class Sub(Base):
    @override
    def log_status(self) -> None:  # Okay: overrides Base.log_status
        ...
    @override
    def done(self) -> None:  # Error reported by type checker
        ...

There is no runtime checking of this property.

The decorator will attempt to set an __override__ 属性为 True on the decorated object. Thus, a check like if getattr(obj, "__override__", False) can be used at runtime to determine whether an object obj has been marked as an override. If the decorated object does not support setting attributes, the decorator returns the object unchanged without raising an exception.

见 PEP 698 了解更多细节。

3.12 版添加。

@ typing. type_check_only ¶

Decorator to mark a class or function as unavailable at runtime.

This decorator is itself not available at runtime. It is mainly intended to mark classes that are defined in type stub files if an implementation returns an instance of a private class:

@type_check_only
class Response:  # private or not available at runtime
    code: int
    def get_header(self, name: str) -> str: ...
def fetch_response() -> Response: ...

Note that returning instances of private classes is not recommended. It is usually preferable to make such classes public.

自省帮手 ¶

typing. get_type_hints ( obj , globalns = None , localns = None , include_extras = False ) ¶

Return a dictionary containing type hints for a function, method, module or class object.

This is often the same as obj.__annotations__ , but this function makes the following changes to the annotations dictionary:

Forward references encoded as string literals or ForwardRef objects are handled by evaluating them in globalns , localns , and (where applicable) obj ’s type parameter namespace. If globalns or localns is not given, appropriate namespace dictionaries are inferred from obj .
None 被替换采用 types.NoneType .
若 @no_type_check has been applied to obj , an empty dictionary is returned.
若 obj is a class C , the function returns a dictionary that merges annotations from C ’s base classes with those on C directly. This is done by traversing C.__mro__ and iteratively combining __annotations__ dictionaries. Annotations on classes appearing earlier in the 方法分辨次序 always take precedence over annotations on classes appearing later in the method resolution order.
The function recursively replaces all occurrences of Annotated[T, ...] with T ，除非 include_extras 被设为 True (见 Annotated 了解更多信息)。

另请参阅 inspect.get_annotations() , a lower-level function that returns annotations more directly.

注意

If any forward references in the annotations of obj are not resolvable or are not valid Python code, this function will raise an exception such as NameError . For example, this can happen with imported type aliases that include forward references, or with names imported under if TYPE_CHECKING .

3.9 版改变：添加 include_extras parameter as part of PEP 593 . See the documentation on Annotated 了解更多信息。

3.11 版改变：先前， Optional[t] was added for function and method annotations if a default value equal to None was set. Now the annotation is returned unchanged.

typing. get_origin ( tp ) ¶

Get the unsubscripted version of a type: for a typing object of the form X[Y, Z, ...] return X .

若 X is a typing-module alias for a builtin or collections class, it will be normalized to the original class. If X 是实例化的 ParamSpecArgs or ParamSpecKwargs , return the underlying ParamSpec 。返回 None for unsupported objects.

范例：

assert get_origin(str) is None
assert get_origin(Dict[str, int]) is dict
assert get_origin(Union[int, str]) is Union
P = ParamSpec('P')
assert get_origin(P.args) is P
assert get_origin(P.kwargs) is P

Added in version 3.8.

typing. get_args ( tp ) ¶

Get type arguments with all substitutions performed: for a typing object of the form X[Y, Z, ...] return (Y, Z, ...) .

若 X is a union or Literal contained in another generic type, the order of (Y, Z, ...) may be different from the order of the original arguments [Y, Z, ...] due to type caching. Return () for unsupported objects.

范例：

assert get_args(int) == ()
assert get_args(Dict[int, str]) == (int, str)
assert get_args(Union[int, str]) == (int, str)

Added in version 3.8.

typing. is_typeddict ( tp ) ¶

Check if a type is a TypedDict .

例如：

class Film(TypedDict):
    title: str
    year: int
assert is_typeddict(Film)
assert not is_typeddict(list | str)
# TypedDict is a factory for creating typed dicts,
# not a typed dict itself
assert not is_typeddict(TypedDict)

Added in version 3.10.

class typing. ForwardRef ¶

Class used for internal typing representation of string forward references.

例如， List["SomeClass"] is implicitly transformed into List[ForwardRef("SomeClass")] . ForwardRef should not be instantiated by a user, but may be used by introspection tools.

注意

PEP 585 generic types such as list["SomeClass"] will not be implicitly transformed into list[ForwardRef("SomeClass")] and thus will not automatically resolve to list[SomeClass] .

Added in version 3.7.4.

常量 ¶

typing. TYPE_CHECKING ¶

A special constant that is assumed to be True by 3rd party static type checkers. It is False at runtime.

用法：

if TYPE_CHECKING:
    import expensive_mod
def fun(arg: 'expensive_mod.SomeType') -> None:
    local_var: expensive_mod.AnotherType = other_fun()

The first type annotation must be enclosed in quotes, making it a “forward reference”, to hide the expensive_mod reference from the interpreter runtime. Type annotations for local variables are not evaluated, so the second annotation does not need to be enclosed in quotes.

注意

若 from __future__ import annotations is used, annotations are not evaluated at function definition time. Instead, they are stored as strings in __annotations__ . This makes it unnecessary to use quotes around the annotation (see PEP 563 ).

Added in version 3.5.2.

Deprecated aliases ¶

This module defines several deprecated aliases to pre-existing standard library classes. These were originally included in the typing module in order to support parameterizing these generic classes using [] . However, the aliases became redundant in Python 3.9 when the corresponding pre-existing classes were enhanced to support [] (见 PEP 585 ).

The redundant types are deprecated as of Python 3.9. However, while the aliases may be removed at some point, removal of these aliases is not currently planned. As such, no deprecation warnings are currently issued by the interpreter for these aliases.

If at some point it is decided to remove these deprecated aliases, a deprecation warning will be issued by the interpreter for at least two releases prior to removal. The aliases are guaranteed to remain in the typing module without deprecation warnings until at least Python 3.14.

Type checkers are encouraged to flag uses of the deprecated types if the program they are checking targets a minimum Python version of 3.9 or newer.
