Python - How can I annotate that a function has the same parameters as another?

Question

Context here is overwriting the method of a Class from a library

from mail_library import MailClient

class LocalMailClient(MailClient):
    def send(**kwargs: KwargsFrom[MailClient.send]):
       print(f'Mocking email to {kwargs["recipients"]}')

Is there something similar to the KwargsFrom I suggested above?

Answer 1

Define the type in a variable in the parent file, then import it

MAILCLIENT_SEND_RETURN_TYPE = List[int]
class MailClient:
    def send(**kwargs: MAILCLIENT_SEND_RETURN_TYPE):
        print(f'Mocking email to {kwargs["recipients"]}')
        

from mail_library import MailClient, MAILCLIENT_SEND_RETURN_TYPE
class LocalMailClient(MailClient):
    def send(**kwargs: MAILCLIENT_SEND_RETURN_TYPE):
        print(f'Mocking email to {kwargs["recipients"]}')
