With a lot of languages, I can tell
that the type I am getting is an instance of the declared type I'm assigning it to.
Example:
Cat c = Factory.make("cat"
Animal d = Factory.make("dog")
Python:
val c = Factory.make("cat")
Problem with this is that it is not necessarily obvious to the reader what the type of c is. I suggest that you provide an option to strengthen python's type checking by allowing users to replace val with the expected type of the object and then allow the interpreter to check that the real type being assigned is an instance of the expected type. An option like -strong for strong typing.

Check out the types module and PEP 484. |
