Python's typing system offers powerful ways to define function behavior with overloads. However, precisely specifying a default return type when a mix of input types is involved can become complex, leading to verbose or potentially unsafe type hints. This article explores strategies to manage these scenarios, particularly when a function returns a specific type only when all inputs match that type, and a different, more general type otherwise.
