My name is Abdulai Abarika , and I am the person behind this blog. I am a lifelong learner that is constantly fascinated by technology. I believe that fundamentally, all computer users are typists. So, learning how to type was the first step I took when I first decided to learn about technology.
This blog is about teaching you how to type the symbols or characters hidden on the keyboard. Your email address will not be published. It is meant to be used for functions that may accept any kind of string without allowing different kinds of strings to mix. Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping static duck-typing , for example:. See PEP for details.
Such a protocol can be used with isinstance and issubclass. This raises TypeError when applied to a non-protocol class. For example, ssl. SSLObject is a class, therefore it passes an issubclass check against Callable. However, the ssl. Typed version of collections. NamedTuple subclasses can also have docstrings and methods:. A helper class to indicate a distinct type to a typechecker, see NewType. At runtime it returns an object that returns its argument when called.
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. The type info for introspection can be accessed via Point2D.
To allow using this feature with older versions of Python that do not support PEP , TypedDict supports two additional equivalent syntactic forms:. By default, all keys must be present in a TypedDict. It is possible to override this by specifying totality. 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 argument. True is the default, and makes all items defined in the class body required.
A generic version of dict. Useful for annotating return types. To annotate arguments it is preferred to use an abstract collection type such as Mapping. Generic version of list. To annotate arguments it is preferred to use an abstract collection type such as Sequence or Iterable.
A generic version of builtins. To annotate arguments it is preferred to use an abstract collection type such as AbstractSet. Tuple is a special form. A generic version of collections. OrderedDict now supports []. ChainMap now supports []. Counter now supports []. These types should be directly imported from typing instead. These type aliases correspond to the return types from re. These types and the corresponding functions are generic in AnyStr and can be made specific by writing Pattern[str] , Pattern[bytes] , Match[str] , or Match[bytes].
Text is an alias for str. It is provided to supply a forward compatible path for Python 2 code: in Python 2, Text is an alias for unicode. Use Text to indicate that a value must contain a unicode string in a manner that is compatible with both Python 2 and Python Set now supports []. This type represents the types bytes , bytearray , and memoryview of byte sequences. As a shorthand for this type, bytes can be used to annotate arguments of any of the types mentioned above.
ByteString now supports []. Collection now supports []. Container now supports []. ItemsView now supports []. KeysView now supports []. This type can be used as follows:. Mapping now supports []. MappingView now supports []. MutableMapping now supports []. MutableSequence now supports []. MutableSet now supports []. Sequence now supports []. ValuesView now supports []. Iterable now supports [].
Iterator now supports []. Note that unlike many other generics in the typing module, the SendType of Generator behaves contravariantly, not covariantly or invariantly.
Alternatively, annotate your generator as having a return type of either Iterable[YieldType] or Iterator[YieldType] :. Generator now supports []. An alias to collections. Reversible now supports []. The variance and order of type variables correspond to those of Generator , for example:. Coroutine now supports []. Unlike normal generators, async generators cannot return a value, so there is no ReturnType type parameter. As with Generator , the SendType behaves contravariantly. If your generator will only yield values, set the SendType to None :.
AsyncGenerator now supports []. AsyncIterable now supports []. AsyncIterator now supports []. Awaitable now supports []. A generic version of contextlib. AbstractContextManager now supports [].
AbstractAsyncContextManager now supports []. This returns the value unchanged. The overload decorator allows describing functions and methods that support multiple different combinations of argument types. The overload -decorated definitions are for the benefit of the type checker only, since they will be overwritten by the non- overload -decorated definition, while the latter is used at runtime but should be ignored by a type checker.
At runtime, calling a 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:.
See PEP for details and comparison with other typing semantics. A decorator to indicate to type checkers that the decorated method cannot be overridden, and the decorated class cannot be subclassed. This works as class or function decorator.
With a class, it applies recursively to all methods defined in that class but not to methods defined in its superclasses or subclasses. 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:. Note that returning instances of private classes is not recommended. It is usually preferable to make such classes public. This is often the same as obj. In addition, forward references encoded as string literals are handled by evaluating them in globals and locals namespaces. If necessary, Optional[t] is added for function and method annotations if a default value equal to None is set.
The function recursively replaces all Annotated[T, Enabling postponed evaluation of annotations PEP may remove the need for most forward references. For a typing object of the form X[Y, Z, If X is a generic alias for a builtin or collections class, it gets normalized to the original class.
If X is a union or Literal contained in another generic type, the order of Y, Z, For unsupported objects return None and correspondingly. Check if a type is a TypedDict. A class used for internal typing representation of string forward references.
This class should not be instantiated by a user, but may be used by introspection tools. A special constant that is assumed to be True by 3rd party static type checkers. It is False at runtime. Type annotations for local variables are not evaluated, so the second annotation does not need to be enclosed in quotes.
Navigation index modules next previous Python ». Note The Python runtime does not enforce function and variable type annotations. To do this, press and hold the Alt key whilst pressing the Double S symbol Alt code using the numeric keypad. For Windows users, use the Alt Code method by pressing down the [Alt] key whilst typing the Double S sign alt code which is You must use the numeric keypad to type the alt code. Also, ensure that your Num Lock key is turned on.
Another easy way to get the Double S symbol on any PC is to use my favorite method: copy and paste. Below is the symbol for you to copy and paste into your Word document. For windows users, obey the following instructions to copy and paste the Double S symbol using the character map dialog box.
The insert symbol dialog box is a library of symbols from where you can insert any symbol into your Word document with just a couple of mouse clicks. Obey the following steps to insert the Double S Symbol in Word using the insert symbol dialog box.
As you can see, there are several different methods you can use to type the Double S sign in Microsoft Word. Using the shortcuts for both Windows and Mac makes the fastest option for this task.
