Abstract

Python is a dynamically typed programming language. This property

    allows much flexibility and comfort in writing programs, but at the
    price of detecting type errors only at runtime. I present a static
    type checker for Python, which aims at type checking Python programs
    statically. The approach handles the most commonly used subset of the
    language. It is based on abstract interpretation and leads to
    accurate results, with a low number of false positives and no false
    negatives.
