python函数参数类型检查_Python中实现参数类型检查的简单方法

Python是一门弱类型语言，很多从C/C++转过来的朋友起初不是很适应。比如，在声明一个函数时，不能指定参数的类型。用C做类比，那就是所有参数都是void*类型！void类型强制转换在C++中被广泛地认为是个坏习惯，不到万不得已是不会使用的。

Python自然没有类型强制转换一说了，因为它是动态语言。首先，所有对象都从Object继承而来，其次，它有强大的内省，如果调用某个不存在的方法会有异常抛出。大多数情况，我们都不需要做参数类型栓查，除了一些特殊情况。例如，某个函数接受一个str类型，结果在实际调用时传入的是unicode，测试过程中又没有代码覆盖到，这样问题就比较严重了。解决方法也很简单，借助Python的内省，很容易就能判断出参数的类型。但是每个地方都写检查代码会很累赘，何况它带来的实际价值并不高。一个好的解决方法是使用装饰器。
