Getting to Know Duck Typing in Python
Python makes extensive use of a type system known as duck typing. This system is based on an object’s behavior and interface. Many built-in classes and tools support this type system, which makes them pretty flexible and decoupled.
Duck typing is a core concept in Python. Understanding it will give you deeper insight into how the language works and, more importantly, how to use this approach in your own code.
