[Documentation] Document @dataclass integration better #56
Comments
YES. Let us quietly reach for the open throat of Srsly, tho. This must happen. You even stacked the decorators correctly, layering @leycec Has a DreamI've always believed that:
Let's not do either of those things. The key to avoiding those things is to dynamically inspect and generate code at decoration time. If you do that, you don't need dark metaclass or superclass magic at variable access time – because you've already front-loaded all the dark magic to decoration time, where dark magic properly belongs. Of course, dynamically inspecting and generating code at decoration time is already the core of what Admittedly, that's kinda non-trivial. ←understatement alert But non-trivial means fun, right? Right? I also love co-opting competitor ideas and folding them like a rapacious cult of Genestealers into our own genomic codebase.
Decorate Them All... And in the Darkness Type-check ThemYou may have guessed, but this exact issue was my principal rationale for beartype validators. Everything's been leading up to this, really. Now that beartype validators support Python ≥ 3.6 (via the In theory, generalizing In theory, that sounds trivial. Okay... so it really doesn't. But let's pretend, because it's late and my tenuous grip on reality only has so much wiggle room. In practice, the devil-in-the-details will be minimizing space costs. We really don't want to dynamically generate one new data descriptor for each class or instance variable. We want to cache data descriptors for subsequent reuse, because it's likely multiple classes will share class or instance variables annotated by the same type hints: e.g., @beartype
@dataclasses.dataclass
class LikeWhatever:
something: int
other_thing: List[str]
@beartype
@dataclasses.dataclass
class LikeIKnowRight:
one_more_thing: List[str] # <-- reuse LikeWhatever.one_thing's data descriptor
yet_another_thing: str # <-- reuse LikeWhatever.something's data descriptor Phew. I feel even older just thinking about this. Since our first priority for the remainder of 2021 and probably most of 2022 ...let's be honest is deep type-checking for all remaining PEP 484- and 585-compliant type hints, fulfilling this feature request that everyone really wants will have to moulder on the back burner for just a little bit. Let's choose to believe that one day even type-checking bears can fly. |
I'm currently experimenting with this decorator, which seems to work fine because from dataclasses import is_dataclass
from typing import TypeVar
import beartype
T = TypeVar("T")
def beartyped(cls: type[T]) -> type[T]:
assert is_dataclass(cls)
cls.__init__ = beartype.beartype(cls.__init__) # type: ignore[assignment]
return cls |
what @antonagestam suggests is what I personally was looking for, just doing arg type-checking on the |
I understand that making class decorators behave this way (meaning, be a shorthand for decorating whatever init the class ends up with) would hamper the development of further class decorators though. For a regular class, one would just add the beartype decorator to the init call. In the case of dataclasses however... it's automatically generated. Maybe a @beartype.decorate_init
@dataclasses.dataclass
class Whatever:
something: int
other_thing: string
if __name__ == "__main__":
asd = Whatever(123.321, b"Other error") # Beartype error |
Ah... I finally get it. We're not talking about type-checking class or instance variables at assignment time, which is a hard but "fun" problem; we're talking about type-checking in-memory callables dynamically generated by an earlier decorator like Indeed, this bears ...see wut i did there some rumination. It'd be nice if whatever API we gin up in our bathtub cleanly generalizes to all dynamically generated callables – not just I mean, Everything Should Work with Me Doing NothingFortunately for my RSI-riddled fingers, this should already automagically happen once we generalize In theory, But What Should We Do until You Actually Do Something?...what @antonagestam suggests. You knew that was coming, didn't you? I'd probably rename Since Does all of that sound reasonable? If not, I have five hours of Swedish melodic death metal that desperately needs listening to... cues Hypocrisy Destroys Wacken 🎧 |
Recently I developed |
...truer words were never spoken. Relatedly, it's abundantly clear that everyone just wants @antonagestam's wonderful Here's the short-term winning game plan:
Specifically, I'm contemplating this: from dataclasses import dataclass, is_dataclass
from typing import Type
T = TypeVar("T")
def beartype(thing: T) -> T:
# Recursion, because exhausting the stack is "fun."
if isinstance(thing, type):
if is_dataclass(thing):
thing.__init__ = beartype(thing.__init__) # type: ignore[assignment]
return thing
raise BeartypeWrappeeException(
f'{repr(thing)} not a @dataclasses.dataclass, yo. What up?')
# Else, do everything else we currently do.
... Sound good? Great. Let's do this thing. Perpetual thanks to @antonagestam for the no-nonsense contribution and to everyone else for continually referencing the obvious move I should have made several months ago. Speak now or forever hold my beer. |
This commit is the first in a commit chain adding support for PEP 557-compliant dataclasses (i.e., types decorated by the standard `@dataclasses.dataclass` decorator) to the `@beartype` decorator, en-route to resolving issue #56 kindly submitted by @JulesGM (Jules Gagnon-Marchand) the Big Brain NLP researcher. Specifically, this commit employs a clever one-liner employed by @antonagestam (Anton Agestam) the ageless Swede that I stan for, to transparently type-check the implicit `__init__()` method generated by @DataClass for dataclasses. Naturally, nothing is tested; everything is broke. (*Wondrous dander wands!*)
This commit is the last in a commit chain adding support for PEP 557-compliant dataclasses (i.e., types decorated by the standard `@dataclasses.dataclass` decorator) to the `@beartype` decorator, resolving issue #56 kindly submitted by @JulesGM (Jules Gagnon-Marchand) the Big Brain NLP researcher. Specifically, this commit adds support for **dataclass-specific initialization-only instance variable type hints** (i.e., `dataclasses.InitVar[...]` hints) as well as exhaustively testing all likely edge cases in this support. 2022 lookin' up. (*Scalded tail-wagging scallywag!*)
As it was written, so it was done. Thanks to all for continually kicking this into nitrous-injected high-gear and to @antonagestam particularly for the game-changing one-liner. 2022 is looking up already; the evidence is here. Nitrous injection: engage! |
That's great, thanks !

Ah! Spot-on point, as always. In theory, type-checking Allow me to scratch my chin thoughtfully while top men look into this. |
ohsh— Literally cannot believe that obliquely referencing "top men" was enough to trigger @posita's 80's neural net. You've finely honed that neocortex on the finest chad-tier media yet produced by humankind; now, you are literally inside my mind and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Well, dataclasses aren't always frozen?
Is the method decorated if the dataclass is not frozen?
Can we just decorate in that case?

wut u say!?!? Of course, you are correct. It was my (mis)understanding from the official documentation that

I take this to mean that

So, how about |
Heh. You're brilliant, so you went there. Because I'm less brilliant, please bear heh with me. I'm pretty sure (but not certain) you're wondering when >>> @beartype
>>> @dataclass
>>> class DoItDoIt(object):
.... check_it_check_it: int = 0xDEADBABE
>>> do_it_do_it = DoItDoIt()

Data descriptors are dark and profane Python magic, but the core takeaway here is that:
That's more-or-less how CPython implements the standard Someone who in not me dropped the greasy ball there. 😬 |
@leycec Wouldn't you need to define Anyways, as a "datapoint", I think it's completely reasonable to not support checking types om assignment. But then again, I also think having frozen=False as default was a mistake ;) |
You ask me this troubling question, Anton. To better understand my delicate position, let me rephrase your question as:
First, let's quietly admit to ourselves from the filthy confines of our ice-encrusted northerly mancaves that Second, let's quietly point to the sign on the wall reading from dataclasses import dataclass
# Do you believe in miracles?
@dataclass(frozen=True, slots=True)
class Point:
x: int = 0
y: int = 0 So, the answer to this question and more is: "By the dessicated beard of Odin, this must not be." Thus spake the Bear.
...yup. I'm right there with you – by default, anyway. My main concern with check-on-assignment is the performance hit, because when isn't the performance hit my main concern? Never, that's when it isn't. ←wut In this case, each assignment costs you the function overhead of calling a data descriptor's To appease everyone, I'm currently finalizing a configuration API for (wait-for-it) from beartype import beartype, BeartypeConf

...heh. A fellow The Big Takeaway from functional programming is that a shockingly 😨 large class of bugs can be entirely eliminated by minimizing (or even prohibiting) object mutation. Of course, doing so usually also comes at a minor cost of I'm possibly still jelly that Rubyists got |
Sorry, I was bit vague, this remark:
Was in response to:
E.g. just reasoning as to why frozeness is implemented with And, it turns out I was misinformed, I for some reason thought the below would yield an error. Since it doesn't you're most likely right about it being weird that >>> from dataclasses import dataclass
>>> @dataclass(frozen=True)
... class A: ...
...
>>> A.foo = "bar" Completely agree about frozeness generally, my mind keeps grasping for a Python with much less mutability! |
...heh. So, I have bad news and I have good news. The bad news is Guido and Alex Martelli intentionally scuttled a working PEP proposal to introduce a freeze protocol via a new Martelli's caustic rebuttal of PEP 351 makes utterly no sense from the rear view window of 2022. A throbbing varicose vein (blotched with ugly purple mottling, of course!) pops out on my forehead whenever I revisit that rebuttal. Everyone on Python's Steering Committee at the time badly missed the boat, which is just:
Instead, Martelli kicks up and attacks all these indefensible straw men like hashability and polymorphism – without ever addressing the fundamental raison d'etre for freezing, which is to stomp bugs repeatedly until they die. 🤕 |
@leycec I just wanted to add that your first reply to this thread is why I'll be switching to Beartypes over Pydantic. I honestly believe the examples you demonstrated here should be part of the most forward facing documentation. I spent some time trying to compare and contrast the two packages, and your comment here, did the best job of providing that information. I wasn't sure where to provide this feedback, so if its inappropriate to do so here, I can remove this post |
Fist bump! Thanks so much for the gracious feedback, Greg. Love your avatar, too. That's the most serious game-dev-casually-leaning-against-a-tree photo op I've ever seen. Never change that.
You are unequivocally correct. Our documentation needs a jab in the arm from a qualified technical writer or documentation specialist... yet all we have is me. At the moment, the only public documentation on the subject is this # ..................{ CLASSES ~ dataclass }..................
# Import the requisite machinery. Note this requires Python ≥ 3.8.

self.field_must_satisfy_pep604_union = (
field_must_satisfy_builtin_type) That's buried fairly far down, though. A dedicated human-readable section on integrating Thanks again, Greg – and thanks for digging deep into the wide world of @beartype. 🐻 🌳 🐻 |
@leycec its funny to me that you consider yourself not a technical writer, as I aspire to write as well as your comments here. I admittedly have not even tried beartype yet, but once I've done so, I'll look into the pending issues on the project and see if there's any place I can help. I'm a big fan of python, type hinting, and type checking with mypy, so it seems like data validation with beartype is a logical next step. Thanks for updating this issue :) |
That would be fantabulous. Since you name-drop technical writing, how do you feel about... Sphinx? One of our more embarrassing issues that's been open since 0 A.B. (After Beartype) is the gradual refactoring of our inscrutable Could be fun! Of course, that's what I tell all the volunteers.
@beartype: the final typing frontier. These are the voyages of the type-checker
Your faith is unsettling. Thank you for prodding me to do this. I swear this will be done. Someday. I swear. |
This release titillates with scintillating support for **[PEP 557 -- Data Classes][PEP 557]**, **[PEP 570 -- Python Positional-Only Parameters][PEP 570]**, and **[PEP 604 -- Allow writing union types as X | Y][PEP 604]**. This release resolves a bone-crushing **30 issues** (mostly shameless dupes of one another, admittedly) and merges **3 pull requests.** World-girdling changes include: ## Compatibility Added * **[PEP 557 -- Data Classes][PEP 557].** `@beartype` now supports **dataclasses** (i.e., types decorated by the standard `@dataclasses.dataclass` decorator), resolving issue #56 kindly submitted by @JulesGM (Jules Gagnon-Marchand) the Big Brain NLP researcher. Specifically, `@beartype` now transparently type-checks: * **Dataclass-specific initialization-only instance variable type hints** (i.e., `dataclasses.InitVar[...]`). * The implicit `__init__()` method generated by `@dataclass` for dataclasses through a clever one-liner employed by @antonagestam (Anton Agestam) the ageless Swede that I stan for. * **[PEP 570 -- Python Positional-Only Parameters][PEP 570].** `@beartype` now supports positional-only arguments and no one cares. Given the triviality, the rear view mirror of regret suggests we kinda should've implemented this sooner. Better late than never, best @beartype friends for life (BBFFL). * **[PEP 604 -- Allow writing union types as X | Y][PEP 604].** `@beartype` now supports new-style set unions (e.g., `int | float`), resolving issue #71 kindly submitted by pro typing aficionado Derek Wan (@dycw). Thanks to Derek for the helpful heads up that @beartype was headed straight for typing disaster under Python ≥ 3.10. Since we dodged another bullet there, this must mean we have now activated bullet time. Goooooo, slomo! ## Compatibility Improved * **[PEP 484 -- Type Hints][PEP 484],** including: * **`typing.{Binary,Text,}IO[...]` deep type-checking.** `@beartype` now deeply type-checks subscripted `typing.{Binary,Text,}IO[...]` type hints, resolving issue #75 kindly submitted by Niklas "If I had a nickel for every lass..." Rosenstein. Notably: * Since the `typing.BinaryIO` protocol and its `typing.IO` superclass share the exact same API, the `typing.BinaryIO` protocol is lamentably useless for *all* practical purposes. This protocol *cannot* be leveraged to detect binary file handles. Can binary file handles be detected at runtime then? Yes, we can! A binary file handle is any object satisfying the `typing.IO` protocol but *not* the `typing.TextIO` protocol. To implement this distinction, `@beartype` necessarily invented a novel form of type-checking and a new variant of type elision: **anti-structural subtyping.** Whereas structural subtyping checks that one class matches the API of another class (referred to as a "protocol"), anti-structural subtyping checks that one class does *not* match the API of another class (referred to as an "anti-protocol"). `@beartype` public exposes this functionality via the new `beartype.vale.IsInstance[...]` validator, enabling *anyone* to trivially perform anti-structural subtyping. In this case, `@beartype` internally reduces all useless `typing.BinaryIO` type hints to substantially more useful `typing.Annotated[typing.IO, ~beartype.vale.IsInstance[typing.TextIO]]` type hints. * **Unsubscripted NumPy type hints.** `@beartype` now supports **untyped NumPy array type hints** (i.e., the unsubscripted `numpy.typing.NDArray` and subscripted `numpy.typing.NDArray[typing.Any]` type hints), resolving issue #69 kindly submitted by @Jasha10, the stylish boy wonder dual-wielding the double thumbs-up and coke-bottle glasses that signify elementary genius. Specifically, this commit now detects and reduces these hints to the equivalent `numpy.ndarray` type. * **Mypy ≥ 0.920.** `@beartype` now squelches ignorable mypy complaints first introduced by mypy 0.920, including: * **Explicit reexport errors.** `beartype` now squelches implicit reexport complaints from mypy with respect to public attributes published by the `beartype.cave` subpackage, resolving issue #57 kindly reopened by Göteborg melodic death metal protégé and brightest academic luminary @antonagestam. This subpackage is now compatible with both the `--no-implicit-reexport` mypy CLI option and equivalent `no_implicit_reexport = True` configuration setting in `.mypy.ini`. * **Version-dependent errors.** Previously, mypy permitted imports against standard library modules introduced in newer CPython versions to be squelched with the usual ``"# type: ignore[attr-defined]"`` pragma. Since mypy now ignores these pragmas, `@beartype` now silences its complaints through... *unconventional* means. A bear do wut a bear gotta do. ## Features Added * **Compatibility API.** `beartype` now publishes a new `beartype.typing` API as a `typing` compatibility layer improving forward compatibility with future Python releases, resolving issue #81 kindly submitted by the honorable @qiujiangkun (Qiu Jiangkun). Consider resolving [PEP 585][PEP 585] deprecations by importing from our new `beartype.typing` API rather than the standard `typing` API. A battery of new unit tests ensure conformance: * Between `beartype.typing` and `typing` across all Python versions. * With mypy when importing from `beartype.typing`. * **Configuration API** (i.e., public attributes of the `beartype` package enabling end users to configure the `@beartype` decorator, including configuring alternative type-checking strategies *other* than constant-time runtime type-checking). Specifically, `beartype` now publishes: * `beartype.BeartypeStrategy`, an enumeration of all type-checking strategies to *eventually* be fully supported by future beartype releases – including: * `BeartypeStrategy.O0`, disabling type-checking for a callable by reducing `@beartype` to the identity decorator for that callable. Although currently useless, this strategy will usefully allow end users to selectively prevent callables from being type-checked by our as-yet-unimplemented import hook. When implemented, that hook will type-check *all* callables in a given package by default. Some means is needed to prevent that from happening for select callables. This is that means. * `BeartypeStrategy.O1`, our default `O(1)` constant-time strategy type-checking a single randomly selected item of a container that you currently enjoy. Since this is the default, this strategy need *not* be explicitly configured. Of course, you're going to do that anyway, aren't you? `</sigh>` * `BeartypeStrategy.Ologn`, a new `O(lgn)` logarithmic strategy type-checking a randomly selected number of items `j` of a container `obj` such that `j = len(obj)`. This strategy is **currently unimplemented** (but will be implemented by a future beartype release). * `BeartypeStrategy.On`, a new `O(n)` linear strategy deterministically type-checking *all* items of a container. This strategy is **currently unimplemented** (but will be implemented by a future beartype release). * `beartype.BeartypeConf`, a simple dataclass encapsulating all flags, options, settings, and other metadata configuring the current decoration of the decorated callable or class. For efficiency, this dataclass internally self-caches itself (i.e., `BeartypeConf(*args, **kwargs) is BeartypeConf(*args, **kwargs)`). The `__init__()` method of this dataclass currently accepts these optional parameters: * An `is_debug` boolean instance variable. When enabled, `@beartype` emits debugging information for the decorated callable – including the code for the wrapper function dynamically generated by `@beartype` that type-checks that callable. * A `strategy` instance variable whose value must be a `BeartypeStrategy` enumeration member. This is how you notify `@beartype` of which strategy to apply to each callable. * **Wrapper function debuggability.** Enabling the `is_debug` parameter to the `BeartypeConf.__init__` method significantly improves the debuggability of type-checking wrapper functions generated by `@beartype`. This configuration option is entirely thanks to @posita the positive Numenorean, who pined longingly for debuggable wrapper functions and now receives proportionately. Praise be to @posita! He makes bears better. Specifically, enabling this option enables developer-friendly logic like: * Pretty-printing to stdout (standard output) the definitions of those functions, including line number prefixes for readability. * Enabling those functions to be debugged. Thanks to a phenomenal pull request by the dynamic dual threat that is @posita **+** @TeamSpen210, `@beartype` now conditionally caches the bodies of type-checking wrapper functions with the standard (albeit poorly documented) `linecache` module. Thanks so much! Bear Clan 2022!!! * Suffixing the declarations of `@beartype`-specific hidden private "special" parameters passed to those functions with comments embedding their human-readable representations. Safely generating these comments consumes non-trivial wall clock at decoration time and is thus conditionally enabled for external callers requesting `@beartype` debugging. For example, note the `"# is"`-prefixed comments in the following signature of a `@beartype`-generated wrapper function for an asynchronous callable with signature `async def control_the_car(said_the: Union[str, int], biggest_greenest_bat: Union[str, float]) -> Union[str, float]:` ``` python (line 0001) async def control_the_car( (line 0002) *args, (line 0003) __beartype_func=__beartype_func, # is <function test_decor_async_coroutine.<locals>.control_the_car at 0x7> (line 0004) __beartype_raise_exception=__beartype_raise_exception, # is <function raise_pep_call_exception at 0x7fa13d> (line 0005) __beartype_object_140328307018000=__beartype_object_140328307018000, # is (<class 'int'>, <class 'str'>) (line 0006) __beartype_object_140328306652816=__beartype_object_140328306652816, # is (<class 'float'>, <class 'str'>) (line 0007) **kwargs (line 0008) ): ``` * **Decorator modality.** `@beartype` now supports two orthogonal modes of operation: * **Decoration mode** (i.e., the standard mode where `@beartype` directly decorates a callable *without* being passed parameters). In this mode, `@beartype` reverts to the default configuration of constant-time runtime type-checking and *no* debugging behaviour. * **Configuration mode** (i.e., the new mode where `@beartype` is called as a function passed a `BeartypeConf` object via the keyword-only `conf` parameter). In this mode, `@beartype` efficiently creates, caches, and returns a memoized decorator encapsulating the passed configuration: e.g., ``` python from beartype import beartype, BeartypeConf, BeartypeStrategy @beartype(conf=BeartypeConf(strategy=BeartypeStrategy.On)) def muh_func(list_checked_in_linear_time: list[int]) -> int: return len(list_checked_in_linear_time) ``` * Specifically, this commit extricates our core `@beartype` decorator into a new private `beartype._decor._core` submodule in preparation for subsequently memoizing closures encapsulating that decorator returned by invocations of the form `@beartype.beartype(conf=BeartypeConf(...))` * **Declarative instance validator.** `beartype` now publishes a new `beartype.vale.IsInstance[...]` validator enforcing instancing of one or more classes, generalizing **isinstanceable type hints** (i.e., normal pure-Python or C-based classes that can be passed as the second parameter to the ``isinstance()`` builtin). Unlike standard isinstanceable type hints, `beartype.vale.IsInstance[...]` supports various set theoretic operators. Critically, this includes negation. Instance validators prefixed by the negation operator `~` match all objects that are *not* instances of the classes subscripting those validators. Wait. Wait just a hot minute there. Doesn't a typing.Annotated_ type hint necessarily match instances of the class subscripting that type hint? Yup. This means type hints of the form `typing.Annotated[{superclass}, ~IsInstance[{subclass}]` match all instances of a superclass that are *not* also instances of a subclass. And... pretty sure we just invented type hint arithmetic right there. That sounded intellectual and thus boring. Yet, the disturbing fact that Python booleans are integers <sup>yup</sup> while Python strings are infinitely recursive sequences of strings <sup>yup</sup> means that type hint arithmetic can save your codebase from Guido's younger self. Consider this instance validator matching only non-boolean integers, which *cannot* be expressed with any isinstanceable type hint (e.g., ``int``) or other combination of standard off-the-shelf type hints (e.g., unions): `Annotated[int, ~IsInstance[bool]]`. ← *bruh* * **Functional API.** `beartype` now publishes a new public `beartype.abby` subpackage enabling users to type-check *anything* *anytime* against *any* PEP-compliant type hints, resolving feature request #79 kindly submitted by (*...wait for it*) typing Kung Fu master @qiujiangkun (Qiu Jiangkun). This subpackage is largely thanks to @qiujiangkuni, whose impeccable code snippets drive our initial implementation. This subpackage provides these utility functions: * `beartype.abby.is_bearable()`, strictly returning a boolean signifying whether the passed arbitrary object satisfies the passed type hint or not (e.g., `is_bearable(['the', 'centre', 'cannot', 'hold;'], list[int]) is False`). * `beartype.abby.die_if_unbearable()`, raising the new `beartype.roar.BeartypeAbbyHintViolation` exception when the passed arbitrary object violates the passed type hint. ## Features Improved * **Exception message granularity,** including exceptions raised for: * **Disordered builtin decorators.** `@beartype` now raises instructive exceptions when decorating an uncallable descriptor created by a builtin decorator (i.e., `@property`, `@classmethod`, `@staticmethod`) due to the caller incorrectly ordering `@beartype` above rather than below that decorator, resolving issue #80 kindly submitted by typing academician @qiujiangkun (Qiu Jiangkun). Specifically, `@beartype` now raises human-readable exceptions suffixed by examples instructing callers to reverse decoration ordering. * **Beartype validators.** `@beartype` now appends a detailed pretty-printed diagnosis of how any object either satisfies or fails to satisfy any beartype validator to exception messages raised by high-level validators synthesized from lower-level validators (e.g., via overloaded set theoretic operators like `|`, `&`, and `~`), resolving issue #72 kindly submitted by the unwreckable type-hinting guru Derek Wan (@dycw). This diagnostic trivializes validation failures in non-trivial use cases involving multiple nested conjunctions, disjunctions, and/or negations. ## Features Optimized * **`@beartype` call-time performance.** `@beartype` now generates faster type-checking wrapper functions with a vast and undocumented arsenal of absolutely "legal" weaponry, including: * **`typing.{Generic,Protocol}` deduplication.** `@beartype` now microoptimizes away redundant `isinstance()` checks in wrapper functions checking `@beartype`-decorated callables annotated by **PEP 484-compliant subgenerics or PEP 585-compliant subprotocols** (i.e., user-defined classes subclassing user-defined classes subclassing `typing.{Generic, Protocol}`), resolving issue #76 kindly submitted by @posita the positive numerics QA guru and restoring the third-party `numerary` package to its glory. Our generics workflow has been refactored from the ground-up to stop behaving insane. `@beartype` now performs an inner breadth-first search (BFS) across generic pseudo-superclasses in its existing outer BFS that generates type-checking code. When you're nesting a BFS-in-a-BFS, your code went full-send. There's no going back from that. * **Worst-case nested data structures.** `@beartype` now resolves a performance regression in type-checking wrapper functions passed worst-case nested data structures violating PEP-compliant type hints, resolving issue #91 kindly submitted by Cuban type-checking revolutionary @mvaled (Manuel Vázquez Acosta). Specifically, this commit safeguards our low-level `represent_object()` function stringifying objects embedded in exception messages describing type-checking violations against worst-case behaviour. A new unit test shieldwalls against further performance regressions. All our gratitude to @mvaled for unveiling the darkness in the bear's heart. * **`@beartype` decoration-time performance.** The `@beartype` decorator has been restored to its prior speed, resolving performance regressions present throughout our [0.8.0, 0.10.0) release cycles. Significant decoration-time optimizations include: * **Code objects.** `@beartype` now directly accesses the code object underlying the possibly unwrapped callable being decorated via a temporary cache rather than indirectly accessing that code object by repeatedly (and expensively) unwrapping that callable, dramatically optimizing low-level utility functions operating on code objects. * **Exception messages.** `@beartype` now defers calling expensive exception handling-specific functions until an exception is raised, dramatically restoring our decoration-time performance to the pre-0.8.0 era – which isn't that great, honestly. But we'll take anything. Substantial optimizations remain, but we are dog-tired. Moreover, DQXIS:EofaEA (...that's some catchy name right there) ain't gonna play itself – *OR IS IT!?!* Cue creepy AI. * **Fixed lists.** `@beartype` now internally lelaxes inapplicable safety measures previously imposed by our internal `FixedList` container type. Notably, this type previously detected erroneous attempts to extend the length of a fixed list by subversively assigning a slice of that fixed list to a container whose length differs from that of that slice. While advisable in theory, `@beartype` *never* actually sliced any fixed list -- let alone used such a slice as the left-hand side (LHS) of an assignment. Disabling this detection measurably improves the efficiency of fixed lists across the codebase -- which is, after all, the entire raison d'etre for fixed lists in the first place. `</shaking_my_head>` * **Parameter introspection.** `@beartype` now introspects callable signatures using a homegrown lightweight parameter parsing API. `@beartype` previously introspected signatures using the standard heavyweight `inspect` module, which proved... *inadvisable.* All references to that module have been removed from timing-critical code paths. All remaining references reside only in timing-agnostic code paths (e.g., raising human-readable exceptions for beartype validators defined as anonymous lambda functions). * **`@beartype` importation-time performance.** The `beartype` package now avoids unconditionally importing optional first- and third-party subpackages, improving the efficiency of the initial ``from beartype import beartype`` statement in particular. `beartype` now intentionally defers these imports from global module scope to the local callable scope that requires them. A new functional test guarantees this to be the case. ## Features Deprecated * **Badly named exception classes,** to be removed in `beartype` 0.1.0. This includes: * `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintPepException`, deprecated by `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintViolation`. * `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintPepParamException`, deprecated by `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintParamViolation`. * `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintPepReturnException`, deprecated by `beartype.roar.BeartypeCallHintReturnViolation`. ## Documentation Revised * The *Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)* section of our front-facing `README.rst` documentation now sports a medley of new entries, including instructions on: * **Boto3 integration,** enabling end users to type-check runtime types dynamically fabricated by Boto3 (i.e., the official Amazon Web Services (AWS) Software Development Kit (SDK) for Python), resolving issue #68 kindly submitted by Paul Hutchings (@paulhutchings) – the supremely skilled sloth rockin' big shades and ever bigger enthusiasm for well-typed Python web apps. Relatedly, the @beartype organization now officially hosts [`bearboto3`, Boto3 @beartype bindings by (*wait for it*) @paulhutchings](https: //github.com/beartype/bearboto3). * **Mock type type-checking,** resolving issue #92 kindly submitted by @Masoudas (Masoud Aghamohamadian-Sharbaf – wish I had an awesome name like that). Gratuitous shoutouts to @TeamSpen210 for the quick save with a ludicrous two-liner solving everything.

I'm curious if this was ever added – I've looked through the documentation and couldn't seem to find anything, but maybe I missed it. Any update on this would be super appreciated! |
Hah, hah... ah. You're in luck! Actually, you're not in luck. This still doesn't exist. @leycec was bad and played video games all summer instead. You are now thinking:
I was just getting to the lucky part. Rejoice, for these unfulfilling bullet points are better than nothing:
Basically, I failed to realize that everyone wanted me to fight Pydantic by implementing this. Instead, I devoted this summer to In hindsight, maybe I should've just fought Pydantic by implementing this. |
Big fan of the project.
I was thinking that something like
Would be really great.
