InputStream

InputStream(*args, **kwargs)

Base class for protocol classes.
Protocol classes are defined as::
class Proto(Protocol):
def meth(self) -> int:

Such classes are primarily used with static type checkers that recognize structural subtyping (static duck-typing).
For example::
class C:
def meth(self) -> int:
return 0

def func(x: Proto) -> int:
return x.meth()

func(C()) # Passes static type check

See PEP 544 for details. Protocol classes decorated with @typing.runtime_checkable act as simple-minded runtime protocols that check only the presence of given attributes, ignoring their type signatures.
Protocol classes can be generic, they are defined as::
class GenProtoT:
def meth(self) -> T:

Parameters:
NameDescription
*args
**kwargs
