Python 3.8 introduced the typing.Protocol feature, enhancing type checking by allowing developers to define and enforce interface contracts, thereby aligning Python more closely with the benefits of statically-typed languages while maintaining its dynamic nature. This feature aids in improving code quality, readability, and developer productivity by enabling static type checking, which allows early error detection during development rather than at runtime. The article illustrates these benefits through the refactoring of the Pybites Search feature, highlighting how typing.Protocol offers a flexible alternative to Abstract Base Classes (ABCs) by not requiring class inheritance to enforce interfaces but instead focusing on whether a class implements the required methods. Additionally, the integration of @typing.runtime_checkable provides runtime validation that complements static checks, useful in scenarios like plugin development. The concept of structural subtyping, embodied by typing.Protocol, aligns with Python's "duck typing" philosophy, enabling more generic and reusable code components without rigid class hierarchies, thus enhancing both flexibility and type-safety.
