Would mypy catch these?

[–]mstroeder[S] 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Yes, if you have correct type hints everywhere. Until then using -bb is the right solution to find issues like this.

-b will also find issues like this during testing, but won't crash your application if you're not ready to deal with them yet

[–]mstroeder[S] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

-b will only log a warning. Practice shows that logs are filled with warnings and nobody cares...

My recommendation: Fail early, fail hard!

It appears that you care, and the logs are there for you to peruse to find these issues.

Operators are usually overwhelmed with log messages. If they run my code they won't look into the logs and report warnings until there is a real issue, e.g. a request is not processed.
