I think the 'proper' way of checking duck types (among other things) is by defining appropriate protocols; check pyProtocols (http://peak.telecommunity.com/PyProtocols.html) for details. > 2) How do you turn off the type checking for production code? Currently I don't, but that's easy to do if desired by checking __debug__ in the decorator and return the passed function if it is false: def params(**checkedArgs): if not __debug__: return lambda function: function # else return a typechecked proxy of function (...) > Otherwise I quite like it. Please publish it somewhere. Thanks. I'll post an entry on Vaults of Parnassus as soon as I publish it. George -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
