Real Python: Getting to Know Duck Typing in Python

Python's type system, known as duck typing, is based on an object's behavior and interface, making it flexible and decoupled. This concept is central to understanding how Python works and how to effectively use it in coding. The duck typing system is supported by many built-in classes and tools, and it has both advantages and disadvantages. By learning about duck typing, including its pros and cons, and how it is supported by special methods and protocols, developers can gain a deeper understanding of Python and improve their coding skills.
