I'm not sure I understand exactly what you sre asking. Python uses "duck
typing". As far as Python is concerned, you can pass in any class object and
so long as it has the needed methods, it'll suffice ("If it walks like a duck
and it quacks like a duck, then it is a duck."). The down side to that is
that if you hand an object as an argument and the method you pass doesn't
behave like the expected method class would, then bad things may happen at run
time. It would be a bit of a hassle to check types to make sure things at
least smell OK before execution goes possibly awry, but you are certainly free
to write guard code that makes those sort of checks.
My reply here is a bit different from the other replies I see so far. I worry
that may mean I mis-understood your question. Has this been at all helpful
an answer?
