runtype 0.5.3-1

Package Information

Descriptioncollection of run-time type utilities for Python

- Provides a smarter alternative to "isinstance" and "issubclass", with support for the "typing" module, and type constraints.

- Adds run-time type validation to the built-in dataclass. - Improves dataclass ergonomics. - Supports most mypy constructs, like "typing" and forward-references ("foo: 'Bar'"). - Supports automatic value casting, Pydantic-style. (Optional, off by default) - Supports types with constraints. (e.g. "String(max_length=10)") - Supports optional sampling for faster validation of big lists and dicts. - Twice faster than Pydantic-v1 with pure Python

- Provides fast multiple-dispatch for functions and methods, via a decorator. - Dispatch on multiple arguments - Full specificity resolution - Supports mypy, by utilizing the "@overload" decorator - Inspired by Julia.

- Provides a set of classes to implement your own type-system. - Supports generics, constraints, phantom types - Used by runtype itself, to emulate the Python type-system.
