This is interesting. You are Ok having runtime errors?
You're going to have runtime errors in any case, whether they come from code you've put there yourself to check types, or from somewhere deeper down. The only difference is that checks you make yourself *might* catch errors slightly sooner, and *might* be able to provide better diagnostics. However, experience has shown that, the vast majority of the time, type errors in Python are caught pretty much immediately, and the stack trace provides more than enough information to pin down the source of the problem. So, putting in manual type checks is hardly ever worth the effort, and can even be counterproductive, since it interferes with duck typing. Occasionally there will be a situation where a type error results in a corrupted data structure that leads to problems later. But those cases are relatively rare and best dealt with as they come up. -- Greg -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
