Revision 2.
</p>
<p>TL;DR: Short way of doing stuff like <code>def __init__(self, a, b): self.a = a; self.b = b</code>, using type annotations from PEP 484, inspired by Dart's <code>MyConstructor(this.a, this.b)</code> and Ruby's/Crystal's/(Moon|Coffee)Script's <code>constructor/initialize(@a, @b)</code>.</p>

<p>The two decorators checkparams and checkreturn allow you to check (at execution time) that function parameters or a function return value are the right type.</p>

Revision 5.
</p>
<p>Some other recipes have been suggested to allow type checking by various means. Some of these require the use of type specification in a decorator itself. Others try to be much more elaborate in processing a large variety of annotations (but hence require much more and more convoluted code).</p>
<p>The recipe provided below is very short, and simply provides actual <strong>type</strong> checking of arguments and return values. It utilizes an unadorned decorator, rather than manufacture one that is parameterized by types or other arguments.</p>
Type-Checking Function Overloading Decorator (Python)

Revision 2.
</p>
<p>The recipe presents a function overloading decorator in python that do type check. The type signature is marked with the @takes and @returns decorator, which causes the function to raise an InputParameterError exception if called with inappropriate arguments. The @overloaded function searches for the first overloads that doesn't raise TypeError or InputParameterError when called. Alternative overloads are added to the overloads list by using the @func.overload_with decorator. The order of function definition determines which function gets tried first and once it founds a compatible function, it skips the rest of the overloads list.</p>
