typing
— 类型提示支持¶
3.5 新版功能.
源码: Lib/typing.py
备注
Python 运行时不强制执行函数和变量类型注解,但这些注解可用于类型检查器、IDE、静态检查器等第三方工具。
这个模块提供了对类型提示的运行时支持。最基本的支持包括 Any
, Union
, Callable
, TypeVar
, 和 Generic
。关于完整的规范,请看 PEP 484。关于类型提示的简化介绍,请参见 PEP 483。
下面的函数接收与返回的都是字符串,注解方式如下:
def greeting(name: str) -> str:
return 'Hello ' + name
greeting
函数中,参数 name
的类型是 str
,返回类型也是 str
。子类型也可以当作参数。
New features are frequently added to the typing
module.
The typing_extensions package
provides backports of these new features to older versions of Python.
For a summary of deprecated features and a deprecation timeline, please see Deprecation Timeline of Major Features.

The documentation at https://typing.readthedocs.io/ serves as useful reference for type system features, useful typing related tools and typing best practices.
Relevant PEPs¶
Since the initial introduction of type hints in PEP 484 and PEP 483, a number of PEPs have modified and enhanced Python’s framework for type annotations. These include:
- PEP 544: Protocols: Structural subtyping (static duck typing)
Introducing
Protocol
and the@runtime_checkable
decorator
- PEP 585: Type Hinting Generics In Standard Collections
Introducing
types.GenericAlias
and the ability to use standard library classes as generic types
- PEP 604: Allow writing union types as
X | Y
Introducing
types.UnionType
and the ability to use the binary-or operator|
to signify a union of types
- PEP 604: Allow writing union types as
- PEP 612: Parameter Specification Variables
Introducing
ParamSpec
andConcatenate
- PEP 646: Variadic Generics
Introducing
TypeVarTuple
- PEP 655: Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially missing
Introducing
Required
andNotRequired
- PEP 675: Arbitrary Literal String Type
Introducing
LiteralString
- PEP 681: Data Class Transforms
Introducing the
@dataclass_transform
decorator
类型别名¶
把类型赋给别名,就可以定义类型别名。本例中,Vector
和 list[float]
相同,可互换:
Vector = list[float]
def scale(scalar: float, vector: Vector) -> Vector:
return [scalar * num for num in vector]
# typechecks; a list of floats qualifies as a Vector.
new_vector = scale(2.0, [1.0, -4.2, 5.4])
类型别名适用于简化复杂的类型签名。例如:
from collections.abc import Sequence
ConnectionOptions = dict[str, str]
Address = tuple[str, int]
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:
...
注意,None
是一种类型提示特例,已被 type(None)
取代。
NewType¶
Use the NewType
helper to create distinct types:
from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
some_id = UserId(524313)
静态类型检查器把新类型当作原始类型的子类,这种方式适用于捕捉逻辑错误:
def get_user_name(user_id: UserId) -> str:
...
# typechecks
user_a = get_user_name(UserId(42351))
# does not typecheck; an int is not a UserId
user_b = get_user_name(-1)
UserId
类型的变量可执行所有 int
操作,但返回结果都是 int
类型。这种方式允许在预期 int
时传入 UserId
,还能防止意外创建无效的 UserId
:
# '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.
更确切地说,在运行时,some_value is Derived(some_value)
表达式总为 True。
创建 Derived
的子类型是无效的:
from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
# Fails at runtime and does not typecheck
class AdminUserId(UserId): pass
然而,我们可以在 “派生的” NewType
的基础上创建一个 NewType
。
from typing import NewType
UserId = NewType('UserId', int)
ProUserId = NewType('ProUserId', UserId)
同时,ProUserId
的类型检查也可以按预期执行。
详见 PEP 484。
备注
回顾上文,类型别名声明了两种彼此 等价 的类型。 Alias = Original
时,静态类型检查器认为 Alias
与 Original
完全等价。这种方式适用于简化复杂类型签名。
反之,NewType
声明把一种类型当作另一种类型的 子类型。Derived = NewType('Derived', Original)
时,静态类型检查器把 Derived
当作 Original
的 子类 ,即,Original
类型的值不能用在预期 Derived
类型的位置。这种方式适用于以最小运行时成本防止逻辑错误。
3.5.2 新版功能.
在 3.10 版更改: NewType
现在是一个类而不是一个函数。 在调用 NewType
而不是普通的函数时,会有一些额外的运行时间成本。 然而,这种开销将在 3.11.0 中减少。
可调对象(Callable)¶
预期特定签名回调函数的框架可以用 Callable[[Arg1Type, Arg2Type], ReturnType]
实现类型提示。
例如:
from collections.abc import Callable
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
无需指定调用签名,用省略号字面量替换类型提示里的参数列表: Callable[..., ReturnType]
,就可以声明可调对象的返回类型。
以其他可调用对象为参数的可调用对象可以使用 ParamSpec
来表明其参数类型是相互依赖的。此外,如果该可调用对象增加或删除了其他可调用对象的参数,可以使用 Concatenate
操作符。 它们分别采取 Callable[ParamSpecVariable, ReturnType]
和 Callable[Concatenate[Arg1Type, Arg2Type, ..., ParamSpecVariable], ReturnType]
的形式。
在 3.10 版更改: Callable
现在支持 ParamSpec
和 Concatenate
。更多信息见 PEP 612。
参见
The documentation for ParamSpec
and Concatenate
provides
examples of usage in Callable
.
泛型(Generic)¶
容器中,对象的类型信息不能以泛型方式静态推断,因此,抽象基类被扩展支持下标,用于表示容器元素的预期类型。
from collections.abc import Mapping, Sequence
def notify_by_email(employees: Sequence[Employee],
overrides: Mapping[str, str]) -> None: ...
Generics can be parameterized by using a factory available in typing
called TypeVar
.
from collections.abc import Sequence
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar('T') # Declare type variable
def first(l: Sequence[T]) -> T: # Generic function
return l[0]
用户定义的泛型类型¶
用户定义的类可以定义为泛型类。
from typing import TypeVar, Generic
from logging import Logger
T = TypeVar('T')
class LoggedVar(Generic[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)
Generic[T]
是定义类 LoggedVar
的基类,该类使用单类型参数 T
。在该类体内,T
是有效的类型。
Generic
基类定义了 __class_getitem__()
,因此,LoggedVar[t]
也是有效类型:
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
T = TypeVar('T', contravariant=True)
B = TypeVar('B', bound=Sequence[bytes], covariant=True)
S = TypeVar('S', int, str)
class WeirdTrio(Generic[T, B, S]):
...
Generic
类型变量的参数应各不相同。下列代码就是无效的:
from typing import TypeVar, Generic
...
T = TypeVar('T')
class Pair(Generic[T, T]): # INVALID
...
Generic
支持多重继承:
from collections.abc import Sized
from typing import TypeVar, Generic
T = TypeVar('T')
class LinkedList(Sized, Generic[T]):
...
继承自泛型类时,可以修正某些类型变量:
from collections.abc import Mapping
from typing import TypeVar
T = TypeVar('T')
class MyDict(Mapping[str, T]):
...
比如,本例中 MyDict
调用的单参数,T
。
未指定泛型类的类型参数时,每个位置的类型都预设为 Any
。下例中,MyIterable
不是泛型,但却隐式继承了 Iterable[Any]
:
from collections.abc import Iterable
class MyIterable(Iterable): # Same as Iterable[Any]
还支持用户定义的泛型类型别名。例如:
from collections.abc import Iterable
from typing import TypeVar
S = TypeVar('S')
Response = Iterable[S] | int
# Return type here is same as Iterable[str] | int
def response(query: str) -> Response[str]:
...
T = TypeVar('T', int, float, complex)
Vec = Iterable[tuple[T, T]]
def inproduct(v: Vec[T]) -> T: # Same as Iterable[tuple[T, T]]
return sum(x*y for x, y in v)
在 3.7 版更改: Generic
不再支持自定义元类。
用户定义的参数表达式的泛型也通过 Generic[P]
形式的参数规范变量来支持。该行为与上面描述的类型变量一致,因为参数规范变量被类型化模块视为一个专门的类型变量。 这方面的一个例外是,一个类型列表可以用来替代 ParamSpec
:
>>> from typing import Generic, ParamSpec, TypeVar
>>> T = TypeVar('T')
>>> P = ParamSpec('P')
>>> class Z(Generic[T, P]): ...
...
>>> Z[int, [dict, float]]
__main__.Z[int, (<class 'dict'>, <class 'float'>)]
Furthermore, 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(Generic[P]): ...
...
>>> X[int, str]
__main__.X[(<class 'int'>, <class 'str'>)]
>>> X[[int, str]]
__main__.X[(<class 'int'>, <class 'str'>)]
请注意,带有 ParamSpec
的泛型在某些情况下可能不会有正确的 __parameters__
,因为它们主要用于静态类型检查。
抽象基类可作为用户定义的泛型类的基类,且不会与元类冲突。现已不再支持泛型元类。参数化泛型的输出结果会被缓存,typing 模块的大多数类型都可哈希、可进行等价对比。
Any
类型¶
Any
是一种特殊的类型。静态类型检查器认为所有类型均与 Any
兼容,同样,Any
也与所有类型兼容。
也就是说,可对 Any
类型的值执行任何操作或方法调用,并赋值给任意变量:
from typing import Any
a: Any = None
a = [] # OK
a = 2 # OK
s: str = ''
s = a # OK
def foo(item: Any) -> int:
# Typechecks; 'item' could be any type,
# and that type might have a 'bar' method
item.bar()
...
注意,Any
类型的值赋给更精确的类型时,不执行类型检查。例如,把 a
赋给 s
,在运行时,即便 s
已声明为 str
类型,但接收 int
值时,静态类型检查器也不会报错。
此外,未指定返回值与参数类型的函数,都隐式地默认使用 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
需要混用动态与静态类型代码时,此操作把 Any
当作 应急出口。
Any
和 object
的区别。与 Any
相似,所有类型都是 object
的子类型。然而,与 Any
不同,object 不可逆:object
不是 其它类型的子类型。
就是说,值的类型是 object
时,类型检查器几乎会拒绝所有对它的操作,并且,把它赋给更精确的类型变量(或返回值)属于类型错误。例如:
def hash_a(item: object) -> int:
# Fails; an object does not have a 'magic' method.
item.magic()
...
def hash_b(item: Any) -> int:
# Typechecks
item.magic()
...
# Typechecks, since ints and strs are subclasses of object
hash_a(42)
hash_a("foo")
# Typechecks, since Any is compatible with all types
hash_b(42)
hash_b("foo")
名义子类型 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
is a subclass of B
.
此项要求以前也适用于抽象基类,例如,Iterable
。这种方式的问题在于,定义类时必须显式说明,既不 Pythonic,也不是动态类型式 Python 代码的惯用写法。例如,下列代码就遵从了 PEP 484 的规范:
from collections.abc import Sized, Iterable, Iterator
class Bucket(Sized, Iterable[int]):
...
def __len__(self) -> int: ...
def __iter__(self) -> Iterator[int]: ...
PEP 544 允许用户在类定义时不显式说明基类,从而解决了这一问题,静态类型检查器隐式认为 Bucket
既是 Sized
的子类型,又是 Iterable[int]
的子类型。这就是 结构子类型 (又称为静态鸭子类型):
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
此外,结构子类型的优势在于,通过继承特殊类 Protocol
,用户可以定义新的自定义协议(见下文中的例子)。
模块内容¶
本模块定义了下列类、函数和修饰器。
备注
本模块定义了一些类型,作为标准库中已有的类的子类,从而可以让 Generic
支持 []
中的类型变量。Python 3.9 中,这些标准库的类已支持 []
,因此,这些类型就变得冗余了。
Python 3.9 弃用了这些冗余类型,但解释器并未提供相应的弃用警告。标记弃用类型的工作留待支持 Python 3.9 及以上版本的类型检查器实现。
Python 3.9.0 发布五年后的首个 Python 发行版将从 typing
模块中移除这些弃用类型。详见 PEP 585 《标准集合的类型提示泛型》。
特殊类型原语¶
特殊类型¶
这些类型可用于类型注解,但不支持 []
。
- typing.Any¶
不受限的特殊类型。
在 3.11 版更改:
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.LiteralString¶
Special type that includes only literal strings. A string literal is compatible with
LiteralString
, as is anotherLiteralString
, but an object typed as juststr
is not. A string created by composingLiteralString
-typed objects is also acceptable as aLiteralString
.Example:
def run_query(sql: LiteralString) -> ... ... 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}" )
This 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.
See PEP 675 for more details.
3.11 新版功能.
- typing.Never¶
The bottom type, a type that has no members.
This can be used to define a function that should never be called, or a function that never returns:
from typing import Never 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
3.11 新版功能: On older Python versions,
NoReturn
may be used to express the same concept.Never
was added to make the intended meaning more explicit.
- typing.NoReturn¶
标记没有返回值的函数的特殊类型。例如:
from typing import NoReturn def stop() -> NoReturn: raise RuntimeError('no way')
NoReturn
can also be used as a bottom type, a type that has no values. Starting in Python 3.11, theNever
type should be used for this concept instead. Type checkers should treat the two equivalently.3.5.4 新版功能.
3.6.2 新版功能.
- typing.Self¶
Special type to represent the current enclosed class. For example:
from typing import Self class Foo: def return_self(self) -> Self: ... return self
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 currently follows the pattern of:
class Foo: def return_self(self) -> "Foo": ... return self
You should use
Self
as calls toSubclassOfFoo.return_self
would haveFoo
as the return type and notSubclassOfFoo
.Other common use cases include:
classmethod
s that are used as alternative constructors and return instances of thecls
parameter.Annotating an
__enter__()
method which returns self.
For more information, see PEP 673.
3.11 新版功能.
特殊形式¶
可用于类型注解,且支持 []
,每种形式都有其独特的句法。
- typing.Tuple¶
元组类型;
Tuple[X, Y]
是二项元组类型,第一个元素的类型是 X,第二个元素的类型是 Y。空元组的类型可写为Tuple[()]
。例:
Tuple[T1, T2]
是二项元组,类型变量分别为 T1 和 T2。Tuple[int, float, str]
是由整数、浮点数、字符串组成的三项元组。可用省略号字面量指定同质变长元组,例如,
Tuple[int, ...]
。Tuple
与Tuple[Any, ...]
等价,也与tuple
等价。3.9 版后已移除:
builtins.tuple
现已支持[]
。详见 PEP 585 与 GenericAlias 类型。
- typing.Union¶
Union[X, Y]
等同于X | Y
,意味着 X 或 Y。要定义一个 union,可以使用例如
Union[int, str]
或者速记int | str
。建议使用这种速记方法。细节:参数必须是某种类型,且至少有一个。
联合类型之联合类型会被展平,例如:
Union[Union[int, str], float] == Union[int, str, float]
单参数之联合类型就是该参数自身,例如:
Union[int] == int # The constructor actually returns int
冗余的参数会被跳过,例如:
Union[int, str, int] == Union[int, str] == int | str
比较联合类型,不涉及参数顺序,例如:
Union[int, str] == Union[str, int]
Union
不能作为子类,也不能实例化。不支持
Union[X][Y]
这种写法。
在 3.7 版更改: 在运行时,不要移除联合类型中的显式子类。
在 3.10 版更改: 联合类型现在可以写成
X | Y
。 参见 联合类型表达式。
- typing.Optional¶
可选类型。
Optional[X]
等同于X | None
(或Union[X, None]
)。注意,可选类型与含默认值的可选参数不同。含默认值的可选参数不需要在类型注解上添加
Optional
限定符,因为它仅是可选的。例如:def foo(arg: int = 0) -> None: ...
另一方面,显式应用
None
值时,不管该参数是否可选,Optional
都适用。例如:def foo(arg: Optional[int] = None) -> None: ...
在 3.10 版更改: Optional 现在可以写成
X | None
。参见 union 类型表达式。
- typing.Callable¶
可调类型;
Callable[[int], str]
是把(int)转为 str 的函数。下标句法必须与参数列表和返回类型这两个值一起使用。参数列表只能是类型列表或省略号;返回类型只能是单一类型。
没有说明可选参数或关键字参数的句法;这类函数类型很少用作回调类型。
Callable[..., ReturnType]
(省略号字面量)可用于为接受任意数量参数,并返回ReturnType
的可调对象提供类型提示。纯Callable
等价于Callable[..., Any]
,进而等价于collections.abc.Callable
。以其他可调用对象为参数的可调用对象可以使用
ParamSpec
来表明其参数类型是相互依赖的。此外,如果该可调用对象增加或删除了其他可调用对象的参数,可以使用Concatenate
操作符。 它们分别采取Callable[ParamSpecVariable, ReturnType]
和Callable[Concatenate[Arg1Type, Arg2Type, ..., ParamSpecVariable], ReturnType]
的形式。3.9 版后已移除:
collections.abc.Callable
现已支持[]
。 详见 PEP 585 与 GenericAlias 类型。在 3.10 版更改:
Callable
现在支持ParamSpec
和Concatenate
。更多信息见 PEP 612。参见
ParamSpec
和Concatenate
的文档提供了使用Callable
的例子。
- typing.Concatenate¶
Used with
Callable
andParamSpec
to type annotate a higher order callable which adds, removes, or transforms parameters of another callable. Usage is in the formConcatenate[Arg1Type, Arg2Type, ..., ParamSpecVariable]
.Concatenate
is currently only valid when used as the first argument to aCallable
. The last parameter toConcatenate
must be aParamSpec
or ellipsis (...
).例如,为了注释一个装饰器
with_lock
,它为被装饰的函数提供了threading.Lock
,Concatenate
可以用来表示with_lock
期望一个可调用对象,该对象接收一个Lock
作为第一个参数,并返回一个具有不同类型签名的可调用对象。 在这种情况下,ParamSpec
表示返回的可调用对象的参数类型取决于被传入的可调用程序的参数类型:from collections.abc import Callable from threading import Lock from typing import Concatenate, ParamSpec, TypeVar P = ParamSpec('P') R = TypeVar('R') # Use this lock to ensure that only one thread is executing a function # at any time. my_lock = Lock() def with_lock(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])
3.10 新版功能.
- class typing.Type(Generic[CT_co])¶
用
C
注解的变量可以接受类型C
的值。反之,用Type[C]
注解的变量可以接受类自身的值 — 准确地说,是接受C
的 类对象,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]
为协变量:class User: ... class BasicUser(User): ... class ProUser(User): ... class TeamUser(User): ... # Accepts User, BasicUser, ProUser, TeamUser, ... def make_new_user(user_class: Type[User]) -> User: # ... return user_class()
Type[C]
为协变量的意思是指,C
的所有子类都应使用与C
相同的构造器签名及类方法签名。类型检查器应标记违反此项规定的内容,但也应允许符合指定基类构造器调用的子类进行构造器调用。PEP 484 修订版将来可能会调整类型检查器对这种特例的处理方式。Type
合法的参数仅有类、Any
、类型变量 以及上述类型的联合类型。例如:def new_non_team_user(user_class: Type[BasicUser | ProUser]): ...
Type[Any]
等价于Type
,进而等价于 Python 元类架构的根基,type
。3.5.2 新版功能.
3.9 版后已移除:
builtins.type
现已支持[]
。详见 PEP 585 与 GenericAlias 类型。
- typing.Literal¶
表示类型检查器对应变量或函数参数的值等价于给定字面量(或多个字面量之一)的类型。例如:
def validate_simple(data: Any) -> Literal[True]: # always returns True ... 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[...]
不能创建子类。在运行时,任意值均可作为Literal[...]
的类型参数,但类型检查器可以对此加以限制。字面量类型详见 PEP 586 。3.8 新版功能.
- typing.ClassVar¶
标记类变量的特殊类型构造器。
如 PEP 526 所述,打包在 ClassVar 内的变量注解是指,给定属性应当用作类变量,而不应设置在类实例上。用法如下:
class Starship: stats: ClassVar[dict[str, int]] = {} # class variable damage: int = 10 # instance variable
ClassVar
仅接受类型,也不能使用下标。ClassVar
本身不是类,不应用于isinstance()
或issubclass()
。ClassVar
不改变 Python 运行时行为,但可以用于第三方类型检查器。例如,类型检查器会认为以下代码有错:enterprise_d = Starship(3000) enterprise_d.stats = {} # Error, setting class variable on instance Starship.stats = {} # This is OK
3.5.3 新版功能.
- typing.Final¶
告知类型检查器某名称不能再次赋值或在子类中重写的特殊类型构造器。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
这些属性没有运行时检查。详见 PEP 591。
3.8 新版功能.
- typing.Required¶
- typing.NotRequired¶
Special typing constructs that mark individual keys of a
TypedDict
as either required or non-required respectively.For more information, see
TypedDict
and PEP 655 (“Marking individual TypedDict items as required or potentially missing”).3.11 新版功能.
- typing.Annotated¶
A type, introduced in PEP 593 (
Flexible function and variable annotations
), to decorate existing types with context-specific metadata (possibly multiple pieces of it, asAnnotated
is variadic). Specifically, a typeT
can be annotated with metadatax
via the typehintAnnotated[T, x]
. This metadata can be used for either static analysis or at runtime. If a library (or tool) encounters a typehintAnnotated[T, x]
and has no special logic for metadatax
, it should ignore it and simply treat the type asT
. Unlike theno_type_check
functionality that currently exists in thetyping
module which completely disables typechecking annotations on a function or a class, theAnnotated
type allows for both static typechecking ofT
(which can safely ignorex
) together with runtime access tox
within a specific application.毕竟,如何解释注解(如有)由处理
Annotated
类型的工具/库负责。工具/库处理Annotated
类型时,扫描所有注解以确定是否需要进行处理(例如,使用isinstance()
)。工具/库不支持注解,或遇到未知注解时,应忽略注解,并把注解类型当作底层类型。
是否允许客户端在一个类型上使用多个注解,以及如何合并这些注解,由处理注解的工具决定。
Annotated
类型支持把多个相同(或不同)的单个(或多个)类型注解置于任意节点。因此,使用这些注解的工具/库要负责处理潜在的重复项。例如,执行值范围分析时,应允许以下操作:T1 = Annotated[int, ValueRange(-10, 5)] T2 = Annotated[T1, ValueRange(-20, 3)]

,即可在运行时访问额外的注解。语义详情:
Annotated
的第一个参数必须是有效类型。支持多个类型标注(
Annotated
支持可变参数):Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char")]
调用
Annotated
至少要有两个参数(Annotated[int]
是无效的)注解的顺序会被保留,且影响等价检查:
Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char")] != Annotated[ int, ctype("char"), ValueRange(3, 10) ]
嵌套
Annotated
类型会被展平,元数据从最内层注解依序展开:Annotated[Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10)], ctype("char")] == Annotated[ int, ValueRange(3, 10), ctype("char") ]
不移除注解重复项:
Annotated[int, ValueRange(3, 10)] != Annotated[ int, ValueRange(3, 10), ValueRange(3, 10) ]
Annotated
可用于嵌套或泛型别名:T = TypeVar('T') Vec = Annotated[list[tuple[T, T]], MaxLen(10)] V = Vec[int] V == Annotated[list[tuple[int, int]], MaxLen(10)]

- typing.TypeGuard¶
用于注释用户定义的类型保护函数的返回类型的特殊类型化形式。
TypeGuard
只接受一个单一的类型参数。 在运行时,以这种方式标记的函数应该返回一个布尔值。TypeGuard
旨在使 type narrowing 受益——这是静态类型检查器用来确定程序代码流中表达式的更精确类型的一种技术。通常,类型窄化是通过分析条件性代码流并将窄化的结果应用于一个代码块来完成的。 这里的条件表达式有时被称为 “类型保护”: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``. ...
有时,使用一个用户定义的布尔函数作为类型保护会很方便。这样的函数应该使用
TypeGuard[...]
作为其返回类型,以提醒静态类型检查器注意这一意图。对于一个给定的函数,使用
-> TypeGuard
告诉静态类型检查器:返回值是一个布尔值。
如果返回值是
True
,其参数的类型是TypeGuard
里面的类型。
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!")
如果
is_str_list
是一个类或实例方法,那么TypeGuard
中的类型映射到cls
或self
之后的第二个参数的类型。简而言之,
def foo(arg: TypeA) -> TypeGuard[TypeB]: ...
形式的意思是:如果foo(arg)
返回True
,那么arg
将把TypeA
窄化为TypeB
。备注
TypeB
不必是TypeA
的窄化形式,它甚至可以是扩大形式。主要原因是允许像把List[object]
窄化到List[str]
这样的事情,即使后者不是前者的一个子类型,因为List
是不变量。编写类型安全的类型防护的责任留给了用户。TypeGuard
also works with type variables. For more information, see PEP 647 (User-Defined Type Guards).3.10 新版功能.
构建泛型类型¶
以下内容是创建泛型类型的基石,但不在注解内使用。
- class typing.Generic¶
用于泛型类型的抽象基类。
泛型类型一般通过继承含一个或多个类型变量的类实例进行声明。例如,泛型映射类型定义如下:
class Mapping(Generic[KT, VT]): def __getitem__(self, key: KT) -> VT: ... # Etc.
该类的用法如下:
X = TypeVar('X') Y = TypeVar('Y') def lookup_name(mapping: Mapping[X, Y], key: X, default: Y) -> Y: try: return mapping[key] except KeyError: return default
- class typing.TypeVar¶
类型变量。
用法:
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
类型变量主要是为静态类型检查器提供支持,用于泛型类型与泛型函数定义的参数。有关泛型类型,详见
Generic
。泛型函数的写法如下:def repeat(x: T, n: int) -> Sequence[T]: """Return a list containing n references to x.""" return [x]*n def print_capitalized(x: S) -> S: """Print x capitalized, and return x.""" print(x.capitalize()) return x def concatenate(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.
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:
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
Using a 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
在运行时,
isinstance(x, T)
会触发TypeError
异常。一般而言,isinstance()
和issubclass()
不应与类型搭配使用。Type variables may be marked covariant or contravariant by passing
covariant=True
orcontravariant=True
. See PEP 484 for more details. By default, type variables are invariant.
- class typing.TypeVarTuple¶
Type variable tuple. A specialized form of
type variable
that enables variadic generics.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 = TypeVar('T') Ts = TypeVarTuple('Ts') def move_first_element_to_last(tup: tuple[T, *Ts]) -> tuple[*Ts, T]: return (*tup[1:], tup[0]) # 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
*
intuple[T, *Ts]
. Conceptually, you can think ofTs
as a tuple of type variables(T1, T2, ...)
.tuple[T, *Ts]
would then becometuple[T, *(T1, T2, ...)]
, which is equivalent totuple[T, T1, T2, ...]
. (Note that in older versions of Python, you might see this written usingUnpack
instead, asUnpack[Ts]
.)Type variable tuples must always be unpacked. This helps distinguish type variable types from normal type variables:
x: Ts # Not valid x: tuple[Ts] # Not valid x: tuple[*Ts] # The correct way to 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:
Shape = TypeVarTuple('Shape') class Array(Generic[*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:
DType = TypeVar('DType') class Array(Generic[DType, *Shape]): # This is fine pass class Array2(Generic[*Shape, DType]): # This would also be fine pass 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(Generic[*Shape, *Shape]): # Not valid pass
Finally, an unpacked type variable tuple can be used as the type annotation of
*args
:def call_soon( 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 areint
-*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 tocall_soon
match the types of the (positional) arguments ofcallback
.For more details on type variable tuples, see PEP 646.
3.11 新版功能.
- typing.Unpack¶
A typing operator that conceptually marks an object as having been unpacked. For example, using the unpack operator
*
on atype variable tuple
is equivalent to usingUnpack
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 types. You might seeUnpack
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
3.11 新版功能.
- class typing.ParamSpec(name, *, bound=None, covariant=False, contravariant=False)¶
参数规范变量。
类型变量
的一个专门版本。用法:
P = ParamSpec('P')
参数规范变量的存在主要是为了使静态类型检查器受益。 它们被用来将一个可调用对象的参数类型转发给另一个可调用对象的参数类型——这种模式通常出现在高阶函数和装饰器中。 它们只有在
Concatenate
中使用时才有效,或者作为Callable
的第一个参数,或者作为用户定义的泛型的参数。 参见Generic
以了解更多关于泛型的信息。例如,为了给一个函数添加基本的日志记录,我们可以创建一个装饰器
add_logging
来记录函数调用。 参数规范变量告诉类型检查器,传入装饰器的可调用对象和由其返回的新可调用对象有相互依赖的类型参数:from collections.abc import Callable from typing import TypeVar, ParamSpec import logging T = TypeVar('T') P = ParamSpec('P') def add_logging(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
如果没有
ParamSpec
,以前注释这个的最简单的方法是使用一个TypeVar
与绑定Callable[..., Any]
。类型检查器不能对
inner
函数进行类型检查,因为*args
和**kwargs
的类型必须是Any
。cast()
在返回inner
函数时,可能需要在add_logging
装饰器的主体中进行,或者必须告诉静态类型检查器忽略return inner
。
- args¶
- kwargs¶
由于
ParamSpec
同时捕获了位置参数和关键字参数,P.args
和P.kwargs
可以用来将ParamSpec
分割成其组成部分。P.args
代表给定调用中的位置参数的元组,只能用于注释*args
。P.kwargs
代表给定调用中的关键字参数到其值的映射,只能用于注释**kwargs
。在运行时,P.args
和P.kwargs
分别是ParamSpecArgs
和ParamSpecKwargs
的实例。
用
covariant=True
或contravariant=True
创建的参数规范变量可以用来声明协变或禁变的通用类型。 参数bound
也被接受,类似于TypeVar
。 然而这些关键字的实际语义还有待决定。3.10 新版功能.
备注
只有在全局范围内定义的参数规范变量可以被 pickle。
参见
PEP 612 – 参数规范变量(引入
ParamSpec
和Concatenate
的 PEP)。
- typing.ParamSpecArgs¶
- typing.ParamSpecKwargs¶
ParamSpec
的参数和关键字参数属性。ParamSpec
的P.args
属性是ParamSpecArgs
的一个实例,P.kwargs
是ParamSpecKwargs
的一个实例。 它们的目的是用于运行时内部检查的,对静态类型检查器没有特殊意义。在这些对象中的任何一个上调用
get_origin()
,都会返回原始的ParamSpec
:P = ParamSpec("P") get_origin(P.args) # returns P get_origin(P.kwargs) # returns P
3.10 新版功能.
- typing.AnyStr¶
AnyStr
is aconstrained type variable
defined asAnyStr = TypeVar('AnyStr', str, bytes)
.这里指的是,它可以接受任意同类字符串,但不支持混用不同类别的字符串。例如:
def concat(a: AnyStr, b: AnyStr) -> AnyStr: return a + b concat(u"foo", u"bar") # Ok, output has type 'unicode' concat(b"foo", b"bar") # Ok, output has type 'bytes' concat(u"foo", b"bar") # Error, cannot mix unicode and bytes
- class typing.Protocol(Generic)¶
Protocol 类的基类。Protocol 类的定义如下:
class Proto(Protocol): def meth(self) -> int: ...
这些类主要与静态类型检查器搭配使用,用来识别结构子类型(静态鸭子类型),例如:
class C: def meth(self) -> int: return 0 def func(x: Proto) -> int: return x.meth() func(C()) # Passes static type check
详见 PEP 544。Protocol 类用
runtime_checkable()
(见下文)装饰,忽略类型签名,仅检查给定属性是否存在,充当简要的运行时协议。Protocol 类可以是泛型,例如:
class GenProto(Protocol[T]): def meth(self) -> T: ...
3.8 新版功能.
- @typing.runtime_checkable¶
用于把 Protocol 类标记为运行时协议。
该协议可以与
isinstance()
和issubclass()
一起使用。应用于非协议的类时,会触发TypeError
。该指令支持简易结构检查,与collections.abc
的Iterable
非常类似,只擅长做一件事。 例如:@runtime_checkable class Closable(Protocol): def close(self): ... assert isinstance(open('/some/file'), Closable)
备注
runtime_checkable()
将只检查所需方法的存在,而不是其类型签名。 例如,ssl.SSLObject
是一个类,因此它通过了issubclass()
对Callable
的检查。 然而,ssl.SSLObject.__init__()
方法的存在只是为了引发一个TypeError
的更多信息,因此使它无法调用(实例化)ssl.SSLObject
。3.8 新版功能.
其他特殊指令¶
这些特殊指令是声明类型的基石,但不在注解内使用。
- class typing.NamedTuple¶
collections.namedtuple()
的类型版本。用法:
class Employee(NamedTuple): name: str id: int
这相当于:
Employee = collections.namedtuple('Employee', ['name', 'id'])
为字段提供默认值,要在类体内赋值:
class Employee(NamedTuple): name: str id: int = 3 employee = Employee('Guido') assert employee.id == 3
带默认值的字段必须在不带默认值的字段后面。
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 thenamedtuple()
API.)NamedTuple
子类也支持文档字符串与方法: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(NamedTuple, Generic[T]): key: T group: list[T]
反向兼容用法:
Employee = NamedTuple('Employee', [('name', str), ('id', int)])
在 3.6 版更改: 添加了对 PEP 526 中变量注解句法的支持。
在 3.6.1 版更改: 添加了对默认值、方法、文档字符串的支持。
在 3.8 版更改:
_field_types
和__annotations__
属性现已使用常规字典,不再使用OrderedDict
实例。在 3.9 版更改: 移除了
_field_types
属性, 改用具有相同信息,但更标准的__annotations__
属性。在 3.11 版更改: Added support for generic namedtuples.
- class typing.NewType(name, tp)¶
一个辅助类,用于向类型检查器指示一个不同的类型,见 NewType。在运行时,它返回一个对象,在调用时返回其参数。用法:
UserId = NewType('UserId', int) first_user = UserId(1)
3.5.2 新版功能.
在 3.10 版更改:
NewType
现在是一个类而不是函数。
- class typing.TypedDict(dict)¶
把类型提示添加至字典的特殊构造器。在运行时,它是纯
dict
。TypedDict
声明一个字典类型,该类型预期所有实例都具有一组键集,其中,每个键都与对应类型的值关联。运行时不检查此预期,而是由类型检查器强制执行。用法如下: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 usingNotRequired
: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 thelabel
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)
这意味着一个
Point2D
TypedDict
可以省略任何一个键。 类型检查器只需要支持一个字面的False
或True
作为total
参数的值。True
是默认的,它使类主体中定义的所有项目都是必需的。Individual keys of a
total=False
TypedDict
can be marked as required usingRequired
: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 otherTypedDict
types using the class-based syntax. Usage:class Point3D(Point2D): z: int
Point3D
has three items:x
,y
andz
. 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 forGeneric
. For example: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 T = TypeVar('T') class XT(X, Generic[T]): pass # raises TypeError
A
TypedDict
can be generic:class Group(TypedDict, Generic[T]): key: T group: list[T]
A
TypedDict
can be introspected via annotations dicts (see 对象注解属性的最佳实践 for more information on annotations best practices),__total__
,__required_keys__
, and__optional_keys__
.- __total__¶
Point2D.__total__
gives the value of thetotal
argument. Example:>>> 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
- __required_keys__¶
3.9 新版功能.
- __optional_keys__¶
Point2D.__required_keys__
andPoint2D.__optional_keys__
returnfrozenset
objects containing required and non-required keys, respectively.Keys marked with
Required
will always appear in__required_keys__
and keys marked withNotRequired
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 aTypedDict
with one value for thetotal
argument and then inheriting from it in anotherTypedDict
with a different value fortotal
:>>> 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
3.9 新版功能.

TypedDict
的详细规则,详见 PEP 589。3.8 新版功能.

- class typing.Generator(Iterator[T_co], Generic[T_co, T_contra, V_co])¶
生成器可以由泛型类型
Generator[YieldType, SendType, ReturnType]
注解。例如:def echo_round() -> Generator[int, float, str]: sent = yield 0 while sent >= 0: sent = yield round(sent) return 'Done'
注意,与 typing 模块里的其他泛型不同,
Generator
的SendType
属于逆变行为,不是协变行为,也是不变行为。如果生成器只产生值,可将
SendType
与ReturnType
设为None
:def infinite_stream(start: int) -> Generator[int, None, None]: while True: yield start start += 1
此外,还可以把生成器的返回类型注解为
Iterable[YieldType]

AsyncGenerator[YieldType, SendType]
注解。例如:async def echo_round() -> AsyncGenerator[int, float]: sent = yield 0 while sent >= 0.0: rounded = await round(sent) sent = yield rounded
与常规生成器不同,异步生成器不能返回值,因此没有
ReturnType
类型参数。 与Generator
类似,SendType
也属于逆变行为。如果生成器只产生值,可将
SendType
设置为None
:async def infinite_stream(start: int) -> AsyncGenerator[int, None]: while True: yield start start = await increment(start)
此外,可用
AsyncIterable[YieldType]
或AsyncIterator[YieldType]

函数与装饰器¶
- typing.cast(typ, val)¶
把值强制转换为类型。
不变更返回值。对类型检查器而言,代表了返回值具有指定的类型,但运行时故意不做任何检查(以便让检查速度尽量快)。
- typing.assert_type(val, typ, /)¶
Ask a static type checker to confirm that val has an inferred type of typ.
When the 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
At runtime this returns the first argument unchanged with no side effects.
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)
3.11 新版功能.
- typing.assert_never(arg, /)¶
Ask a static type checker to confirm that a line of code is unreachable.
Example:
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 anint
or astr
, and both options are covered by earlier cases. If a type checker finds that a call toassert_never()
is reachable, it will emit an error. For example, if the type annotation forarg
was insteadint | str | float
, the type checker would emit an error pointing out thatunreachable
is of typefloat
. For a call toassert_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.
参见
Unreachable Code and Exhaustiveness Checking has more information about exhaustiveness checking with static typing.
3.11 新版功能.
- typing.reveal_type(obj, /)¶
Reveal the inferred static type of an expression.
When a static type checker encounters a call to this function, it emits a diagnostic with the 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.
The function returns its argument unchanged, which allows using it within an expression:
x = reveal_type(1) # Revealed type is "builtins.int"
Most type checkers support
reveal_type()
anywhere, even if the name is not imported fromtyping
. Importing the name fromtyping
allows your code to run without runtime errors and communicates intent more clearly.At runtime, this function prints the runtime type of its argument to stderr and returns it unchanged:
x = reveal_type(1) # prints "Runtime type is int" print(x) # prints "1"
3.11 新版功能.
- @typing.dataclass_transform¶
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, giving itdataclasses.dataclass()
-like behaviors.Example usage with a decorator function:
T = TypeVar("T") @dataclass_transform() def create_model(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 acceptid
andname
.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
, andslots
. It must be possible for the value of these arguments (True
orFalse
) 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:eq_default
indicates whether theeq
parameter is assumed to beTrue
orFalse
if it is omitted by the caller.order_default
indicates whether theorder
parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller.kw_only_default
indicates whether thekw_only
parameter is assumed to be True or False if it is omitted by the caller.field_specifiers
specifies a static list of supported classes or functions that describe fields, similar todataclasses.field()
.Arbitrary other keyword arguments are accepted in order to allow for possible future extensions.
Type checkers recognize the following optional arguments on field specifiers:
init
indicates whether the field should be included in the synthesized__init__
method. If unspecified,init
defaults toTrue
.default
provides the default value for the field.default_factory
provides a runtime callback that returns the default value for the field. If neitherdefault
nordefault_factory
are specified, the field is assumed to have no default value and must be provided a value when the class is instantiated.factory
is an alias fordefault_factory
.kw_only
indicates whether the field should be marked as keyword-only. IfTrue
, the field will be keyword-only. IfFalse
, it will not be keyword-only. If unspecified, the value of thekw_only
parameter on the object decorated withdataclass_transform
will be used, or if that is unspecified, the value ofkw_only_default
ondataclass_transform
will be used.alias
provides an alternative name for the field. This alternative name is used in the synthesized__init__
method.
At runtime, this decorator records its arguments in the
__dataclass_transform__
attribute on the decorated object. It has no other runtime effect.See PEP 681 for more details.
3.11 新版功能.
- @typing.overload¶
@overload
装饰器可以修饰支持多个不同参数类型组合的函数或方法。@overload
- 装饰定义的系列必须紧跟一个非@overload
-装饰定义(用于同一个函数/方法)。@overload
-装饰定义仅是为了协助类型检查器, 因为该装饰器会被非@overload
-装饰定义覆盖,后者用于运行时,而且会被类型检查器忽略。在运行时直接调用@overload
装饰的函数会触发NotImplementedError
。下面的重载示例给出了比联合类型或类型变量更精准的类型:@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>
详见 PEP 484,与其他类型语义进行对比。
在 3.11 版更改: 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 ofprocess
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.3.11 新版功能.
- typing.clear_overloads()¶
Clear all registered overloads in the internal registry. This can be used to reclaim the memory used by the registry.
3.11 新版功能.
- @typing.final¶
告知类型检查器被装饰的方法不能被覆盖,且被装饰的类不能作为子类的装饰器,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 ...
这些属性没有运行时检查。详见 PEP 591。
3.8 新版功能.
在 3.11 版更改: 装饰器现在将在被装饰的对象上设置
__final__
属性为True
。因此,一个类似于if getattr(obj, "__final__", False)
可以在运行时用来确定一个对象obj
是否已经被标记为 final。如果被装饰的对象不支持设置属性,装饰器会返回该对象而不引发异常。
- @typing.no_type_check¶
标明注解不是类型提示的装饰器。
This works as class or function decorator. 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).
本方法可直接修改函数。
- @typing.no_type_check_decorator¶
让其他装饰器具有
no_type_check()
效果的装饰器。本装饰器用
no_type_check()
里的装饰函数打包其他装饰器。
- @typing.type_check_only¶
标记类或函数内不可用于运行时的装饰器。
在运行时,该装饰器本身不可用。实现返回的是私有类实例时,它主要是用于标记在类型存根文件中定义的类。
@type_check_only class Response: # private or not available at runtime code: int def get_header(self, name: str) -> str: ... def fetch_response() -> Response: ...
注意,建议不要返回私有类实例,最好将之设为公共类。
内省辅助器¶
- typing.get_type_hints(obj, globalns=None, localns=None, include_extras=False)¶
返回函数、方法、模块、类对象的类型提示的字典。
This is often the same as
obj.__annotations__
. In addition, forward references encoded as string literals are handled by evaluating them inglobals
andlocals
namespaces. For a classC
, return a dictionary constructed by merging all the__annotations__
alongC.__mro__
in reverse order.本函数以递归地方式用
T
替换所有Annotated[T, ...]
, 除非将include_extras
的值设置为True
(详见Annotated
)。例如:class Student(NamedTuple): name: Annotated[str, 'some marker'] get_type_hints(Student) == {'name': str} get_type_hints(Student, include_extras=False) == {'name': str} get_type_hints(Student, include_extras=True) == { 'name': Annotated[str, 'some marker'] }
备注
get_type_hints()
在导入的 type aliases 中不工作,该类型包括前向引用(forward references)。启用注解的延迟评估(PEP 563)可能会消除对大多数前向引用的需求。在 3.9 版更改: PEP 593 的组成部分,添加了
include_extras
参数。在 3.11 版更改: Previously,
Optional[t]
was added for function and method annotations if a default value equal toNone
was set. Now the annotation is returned unchanged.
- typing.get_args(tp)¶
- typing.get_origin(tp)¶
为泛型类型与特殊类型形式提供了基本的内省功能。
对于
X[Y, Z, ...]
形式的类型对象,这些函数返回X
与(Y, Z, ...)
。如果X
是内置对象或collections
class 的泛型别名,会将其标准化为原始类。如果X
是一个联合体或包含在另一个通用类型中的Literal
,由于类型缓存的原因,(Y, Z, ...)
的顺序可能与原始实参[Y, Z, ...]
的顺序不同。对于不支持的对象,相应地返回None
和()
。例子assert get_origin(Dict[str, int]) is dict assert get_args(Dict[int, str]) == (int, str) assert get_origin(Union[int, str]) is Union assert get_args(Union[int, str]) == (int, str)
3.8 新版功能.
- typing.is_typeddict(tp)¶
检查一个类型是否为
TypedDict
。例如:
class Film(TypedDict): title: str year: int is_typeddict(Film) # => True is_typeddict(list | str) # => False
3.10 新版功能.
- class typing.ForwardRef¶
A class used for internal typing representation of string forward references. For example,
List["SomeClass"]
is implicitly transformed intoList[ForwardRef("SomeClass")]
. This class should not be instantiated by a user, but may be used by introspection tools.备注
PEP 585 泛型类型例如
list["SomeClass"]
将不会被隐式地转换为list[ForwardRef("SomeClass")]
因而将不会自动解析为list[SomeClass]
。3.7.4 新版功能.
常量¶
- typing.TYPE_CHECKING¶
被第三方静态类型检查器假定为
True
的特殊常量。 在运行时为False
。 用法如下:if TYPE_CHECKING: import expensive_mod def fun(arg: 'expensive_mod.SomeType') -> None: local_var: expensive_mod.AnotherType = other_fun()
第一个类型注解必须用引号标注,才能把它当作“前向引用”,从而在解释器运行时中隐藏
expensive_mod
引用。局部变量的类型注释不会被评估,因此,第二个注解不需要用引号引起来。备注
If
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).3.5.2 新版功能.
