      I swear there's a lot of software engineering "best practices" out there that result from people talking themselves into believing that necessary workarounds weren't anti-patterns of a language's quirks but rather features of it.

      One cannot in good faith argue that the duck typing approach in the following answer is a sensible practice.https://stackoverflow.com/a/1952655

          In fact, I'd go so far as to argue that the try-except-else pattern is *fucking nonsense* that is at best a corruption of a different pattern to wallpaper over a hole in a wall.

          In case you're wondering why this is bad: - You're assigning a variable you intend to do nothing with - You're forcing yourself into eating an exception - If you want to check for actual exceptions, you need yet more code - try-except patterns aren't for type checking

          well, no, it's not. the correct answer is "don't do that" :)

          i mean, don't check at all; just iterate it and if the caller gave you garbage it's their problem

          in any other language the second solution would be so sensible (s/ABC/interface/ but w/e), but Python... the MRO/multiple inheritance makes it undesirable, so we learn to "like" the former :( At least it's fixed in Python 3, per the answers above! 🙏

          something like: those who sacrifice runtime type safety for ease of development deserve neither and lose both?
