It’s funny how Python spent the past like 6 years developing the type hinting system (which is a massive improvement from no typing don’t get me wrong) only to start re-introducing duck typing again with the Protocols.
The one thing I’ll always love about it is the ability to override builtins and do dumb things like call ‘sum(cats)’ where cats is a list of cat objects and have it like print out meow to the terminal for each cat in the list.
Shit like that makes it perfect for internal tools.
Even better is to create a decorator and just wrap the offending functions:
defshut_up(func):
defcall(*args, **kwargs):
try:
return func(*args, **kwargs)
except Exception as e:
print(f"shit's fucked, but I'll be quiet about it")
returnreturn call
@shut_updefadd(x: int, y: int):
print(x + y)
add(1, 2)
add(-1, 2)
add(1, "2")
>>> 3>>> 1>>> "shit's fucked, but I'll be quiet about it"
Or if you want to attempt to salvage it:
defshut_up(func):
defcall(*args, **kwargs):
try:
return func(*args, **kwargs)
except Exception as e:
try:
return func(*map(int, args), **kwargs)
except Exception as e:
print(f"shit's really fucked, I even tried to fix it for you")
returnNonereturn call

At some point I’m just gonna give up and do
Try:
Entire fucking program
Except:
Print(“error: something went wrong”)
