Would it be considered good form to begin every method or function with
a bunch of asserts checking to see if the parameters are of the correct
type (in addition to seeing if they meet other kinds of precondition
constraints)? Like:
def foo(a, b, c, d):
assert type(a) == str
assert type(b) == str
assert type(c) == int
assert type(d) == bool
# rest of function follows
This is something I miss from working with more stricter languages like
C++, where the compiler will tell you if a parameter is the wrong type.
If anything, I think it goes a long way towards the code being more
self documenting. Or is this a waste of time and not really "the
Python way"?
