[Feature Request] Generalize `beartype.door.is_subhint()` to accept type tuples... just 'cause
... Two more day 'til you get a deluge of replies!
Would it be possible to use is_subhint like issubclass, with a tuple of types? For example:
issubclass(str, (int, str)) # True
is_subhint(str, (int, str)) # ...

Thank you kindly for the help!
.. Two more day 'til you get a deluge of replies!
It's happening! It's happening already and it's only Wednesday. Truly, your dire prophecy is unfolding as we type. :scream_cat:
Would it be possible to use
is_subhintlikeissubclass, with a tuple of types? For example:
Fascinating request. In theory, sure. In practice, is there much point? After all, @beartype already more-or-less supports this exact use case with:
-
Standard PEP 484- and 604-compliant unions: e.g.,
>>> from beartype.door import is_subhint >>> is_subhint(str, int | str) # <-- PEP 604 union for the win, 'cause you just don't care True -
A non-standard function that you yourself define that dynamically coerces tuples into PEP 484-compliant unions: e.g.,
>>> from beartype.door import is_subhint >>> from beartype.typing import Union # Function coercing tuples into unions. @beartype actually does this *A LOT* internally. # So, you just know that (A) it works and (B) it's questionable dark magic. >>> def tuple_to_union(hints: tuple) -> object: return Union.__getitem__(hints) >>> is_subhint(str, tuple_to_union((int, str))) # <-- tuple of types for the win, 'cause you do actually care True
Do either of those two examples support your use case? The second is really close to what you want. There's a tuple of types, which is good. There's also an intermediary conversion function, which is perhaps less good.
And now for the Ultimate Badness™. Since @beartype already more-or-less supports this, this is really low priority stuff for us... I've got five feature requests to feed this week. You wouldn't want to starve an orphan feature request, would you!?
... Well, seems like it took a week for that deluge; I was more tuckered out than I realized! 😅 Ah, well; you win some, you lose some.
I ended up using Union[*types], but it would be nice to bring is_subhint in line with issinstance, issubclass, and even is_bearable! 😅
