Python’s “type hints” are a bit of a disappointmen...
Meh. you can do the same thing in Python if you really want - there are dynamic interpreter shims that can do this.
The point is that it is not expected by definition, since by definition, static != runtime.

You're assuming that type hints are
by definition
static-only. There's no particular reason why type hints can't be both statically
and
dynamically enforceable, as they are in PHP.
