Python typing signature (typing.Callable) for function with kwargs

Python typing signature (typing.Callable) for function with kwargs

When defining the type signature for a Python function that accepts keyword arguments (kwargs), you can use the typing.Callable type along with the ** syntax to indicate the keyword arguments. Here's how you can do it:

from typing import Callable

def function_with_kwargs(arg1: int, arg2: str, callback: Callable[..., None], **kwargs: int) -> None:
    # Your function implementation
    result = arg1 + arg2
    callback(result, **kwargs)

In this example, callback is a parameter of type Callable[..., None], which means it's a callable that takes any number of arguments (including keyword arguments) and returns None. The **kwargs parameter allows you to pass any additional keyword arguments to the callback function.

When you call callback(result, **kwargs), the keyword arguments will be unpacked and passed to the callback function.

Here's how you can use this function:

def my_callback(result: str, **extra_kwargs: int) -> None:
    print("Result:", result)
    print("Extra kwargs:", extra_kwargs)

function_with_kwargs(42, "Hello", my_callback, a=1, b=2, c=3)

In this example, the function_with_kwargs function takes the arguments arg1 and arg2, a callback function my_callback, and any number of additional keyword arguments. The my_callback function receives the result argument and any additional keyword arguments passed to function_with_kwargs.

Remember to adjust the types and argument names according to your specific use case.

Examples

  1. "Python: How to define a Callable with arbitrary kwargs?"

    • This query explores how to use typing.Callable with a flexible signature to accept arbitrary keyword arguments.
    from typing import Callable, Any

def process_with_kwargs(func: Callable[..., Any], **kwargs):
    # Calling a function with arbitrary keyword arguments
    return func(**kwargs)

def example_function(x: int, y: int, z: int = 0):
    return x + y + z

# Usage with the function and keyword arguments
result = process_with_kwargs(example_function, x=1, y=2, z=3)  # Outputs: 6

  2. "Python: How to specify a Callable with specific kwargs keys?"

    • This query discusses type hinting when the kwargs should have specific keys.
    from typing import Callable

def call_with_specific_kwargs(func: Callable[[int, int], int], **kwargs):
    # Expecting `x` and `y` keyword arguments
    return func(kwargs["x"], kwargs["y"])

def add(x: int, y: int):
    return x + y

# Using with keyword arguments
result = call_with_specific_kwargs(add, x=10, y=20)  # Outputs: 30

  3. "Python: Typing a Callable that returns different results based on kwargs"

    • This query demonstrates a Callable with a flexible return type depending on keyword arguments.
    from typing import Callable, Union

def flexible_return(func: Callable[..., Union[int, str]], **kwargs):
    return func(**kwargs)

def get_value(a: int, as_str: bool = False):
    return str(a) if as_str else a

# Example of return type depending on `kwargs`
result1 = flexible_return(get_value, a=42, as_str=True)  # Outputs: '42'
result2 = flexible_return(get_value, a=42, as_str=False)  # Outputs: 42

  4. "Python: How to type hint a function with default kwargs values?"

    • This query explores a Callable with type hints for functions with default keyword arguments.
    from typing import Callable, Dict

def default_kwargs(func: Callable[..., int], **kwargs):
    # Provide default keyword arguments
    defaults = {"x": 1, "y": 2}
    defaults.update(kwargs)
    return func(defaults["x"], defaults["y"])

def add(x: int, y: int):
    return x + y

# Call with or without `kwargs`
result1 = default_kwargs(add)  # Outputs: 3 (using defaults)
result2 = default_kwargs(add, x=10)  # Outputs: 12 (override `x`)

  5. "Python: Type hinting for a Callable with a specified return type"

    • This query demonstrates type hinting for a Callable with specific kwargs and return type.
    from typing import Callable

def call_with_return_type(func: Callable[[int, int], int], **kwargs):
    return func(kwargs["x"], kwargs["y"])

def multiply(x: int, y: int):
    return x * y

# Specifying return type with specific `kwargs`
result = call_with_return_type(multiply, x=3, y=4)  # Outputs: 12

    • This query explores how to use kwargs with type-hinted decorators.
    from typing import Callable, Any

def add_kwargs_decorator(decorator: Callable[..., Any]):
    # Decorate a function, allowing `kwargs`
    def wrapper(func: Callable[..., Any], **kwargs):
        return decorator(func, **kwargs)
    return wrapper

def log_call(func: Callable[..., Any], **kwargs):
    print(f"Calling function: {func.__name__} with {kwargs}")
    return func(**kwargs)

decorated = add_kwargs_decorator(log_call)

# Decorated function using `kwargs`

print(decorated(say_hello, name="Alice"))  # Outputs: "Hello, Alice!"

    • This query demonstrates a function with conditional behavior depending on kwargs.
    from typing import Callable, Any

def conditional_call(func: Callable[..., Any], **kwargs):
    # Conditional behavior based on `kwargs`
    if kwargs.get("reverse"):
        return func(kwargs["y"], kwargs["x"])  # Swap `x` and `y`
    else:
        return func(kwargs["x"], kwargs["y"])

def subtract(x: int, y: int):
    return x - y
