It works as a decorator that can be applied to functions, methods, and classes, checking both input arguments and return values against their declared types. The package supports standard Python types, union types (both `int | str` and `typing.Union` syntax), nested generics like `dict[str, list[int]]`, and many typing module constructs including `Optional`, `Literal`, and `Any`.\n\nThe decorator offers configurable behavior: strict mode raises exceptions on type mismatches, non-strict mode logs warnings instead, and clean traceback mode hides internal stack frames for clarity. For large iterables, you can sample a percentage of items rather than checking all of them to reduce overhead. It requires Python 3.11 or higher for full feature support, though older versions can use earlier package releases with limited capabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need runtime type validation for development or testing. The package is lightweight, actively maintained, has no dependencies, and works with modern Python. Best suited for catching type errors during development or in non-performance-critical code paths; consider static type checkers like mypy for production-grade type safety without runtime overhead."},"id":"type-enforced","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/type-enforced","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/type-enforced.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/type-enforced/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-06-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"type-enforced","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A pure python type enforcer for python type annotations"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":295015,"position":7933,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.6.0"}
