Currently in module `typing` we have the following classes

* SupportsInt
* SupportsFloat
* SupportsComplex
* SupportsBytes
* SupportsRound

There is no reason that people only need these classes. They may need, say, `SupportsIndex` to denote all integer like types, `SupportsAdd` for arithmetic types, etc. It is best that the list of `SupportsXXX` are expanded to be as complete as possible, and even better, a mechanism for user specified `SupportsXXX` be provided.

Such a mechanism exists, and is called Protocols. See PEP 544 (https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0544/). While the PEP is still in draft, it is supported by mypy. You need to import the 'Protocol' base class from typing_extensions (which is a PyPI module, so use `pip install typing_extensions`).
