Type checking of Python code using mypy
Python cares a lot less about types than languages such as C, Java, or Go.
Unlike in those strongly typed languages, in Python a variable can be assigned a number and then replaced by a string. You can pass any type of value to a function parameter and Python will only complain if later, in the body of the function, that type turns out to be incompatible with an operation.
Recent versions of Python have started to allow you to declare the types of variables and function parameters, but Python itself does not (yet) do anything with these types.
However, the mypy project offers you a tool that will statically check your code and verify that the types are correct.
