Protocol or ABC? Designing a pluggable provider interface
When you need a common interface for swappable backends, the reflex is to use a good ol' abstract base class (ABC). But typing.Protocol offers a more flexible alternative.

What is a “callable” in Python? Typically, a function or class.
But really, it’s anything with __call__ defined:
class MyClass:
def __call__(self):
return 'Hi!'
m = MyClass()
m() # 'Hi!'
