211117-2327 python annotating number of elements in Tuple, Sequence, List in typing

Based on two SO answers1 2:

  • if you know the size beforehand, use a tuple, that can be parametrized like that
  • In general, named tuples 3 are really cool in such scenarios

  2. type hinting - Specify length of Sequence or List with Python typing module - Stack Overflow ↩︎

  3. Write Pythonic and Clean Code With namedtuple – Real Python ↩︎
