Whoa - be careful here. No-one is saying that "contracts aren't useful" (at least not that I'd heard). We're saying that contracts *aren't a solution for every library in existence* (which was essentially your claim). Annotating pathlib can't convince anyone of that claim. At best (and this is all that I'm imagining) it might give some indication of why you have such an apparently-unreasonable level of confidence in contracts. I do not expect *ever* to believe you when you say that all projects would benefit from contracts. What I might get from such an exercise is a better understanding of what you're imagining when you talk about a real project "using contracts". Best case scenario - I might be persuaded to use them occasionally. Worst case scenario - I find them distracting and unhelpful, and we agree to differ on their value.
