Being an untyped language, Python does not require you to enforce types.
However, for those that require such functionality, you can get away
with using the "assert" statement. For example, if I wanted to make sure
my function foo was only given instances of class Bar, I'd write
something like:
>>> class Bar: pass
>>> def foo(bar):
... assert isinstance(bar, Bar), "argument is not of type Bar"
... print "argument must be of type Bar"
...
>>> bar = Bar()
>>> foo(bar)
argument must be of type Bar
>>> foo(123)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "<stdin>", line 2, in foo
AssertionError: argument is not of type Bar
