[Python-Dev] PEP 484 wishes (original) (raw)

Looking at PEP 484, I came up with two use cases that I felt were not catered for:

  1. Specifying that a parameter should be a subclass of another (example: Type[dict] would match dict or OrderedDict; plain "Type" would equal "type" from builtins)
  2. Specifying that a callable should take at least the specified arguments but would not be limited to them: Callable[[str, int, ...], Any]

Case #2 works already (Callable[[str, int], Any] if the unspecified arguments are optional, but not if they're mandatory. Any thoughts?
