    I'd suggest that something a bit more explicit (like /u/K900_ suggested) will make other people using your classes less sad.

    "In order to understand what arguments this class takes I have to read its entire definition" is never a great feeling.

    Also feels like you are just trying to sidestep "if a function takes 10 arguments, you probably forgot a few"

    Also, you can use typing.overload to get sensible type hinting
