phantom-types 0.9.1

Phantom types for Python

phantom-types

Phantom types for Python that will help you make illegal states unrepresentable and avoid shotgun parsing by practicing "Parse, don't validate".

This project is in early development and fundamental changes should be expected. Semantic versioning will be followed after version 1.0, but before that breaking changes might occur between minor versions.

Installation

$  python3 -m pip install phantom-types

Example

from phantom import Phantom
from phantom.predicates.collection import contained

class Name(str, Phantom, predicate=contained({"Jane", "Joe"})): ...

def greet(name: Name):
    print(f"Hello {name}!")

# This is valid.
greet(Name.parse("Jane"))

# And so is this.
joe = "Joe"
assert isinstance(joe, Name)
greet(joe)

# But this will yield a static type checking error.
greet("bird")
