Signature de la fonction Union

def Union(*args, **kwds) 

Description

help(typing.Union)

Union type; Union[X, Y] means either X or Y.

    To define a union, use e.g. Union[int, str].  Details:
    - The arguments must be types and there must be at least one.
    - None as an argument is a special case and is replaced by
      type(None).
    - Unions of unions are flattened, e.g.::

        Union[Union[int, str], float] == Union[int, str, float]

    - Unions of a single argument vanish, e.g.::

        Union[int] == int  # The constructor actually returns int

    - Redundant arguments are skipped, e.g.::

        Union[int, str, int] == Union[int, str]

    - When comparing unions, the argument order is ignored, e.g.::

        Union[int, str] == Union[str, int]

    - You cannot subclass or instantiate a union.
    - You can use Optional[X] as a shorthand for Union[X, None].
