Generics/templates in python?

Question

How does python handle generic/template type scenarios? Say I want to create an external file \"BinaryTree.py\" and have it handle binary trees, but for any data type.

Answer 1

Actually now you can use generics in Python 3.5+. See PEP-484 and typing module documentation.

According to my practice it is not very seamless and clear especially for those who are familiar with Java Generics, but still usable.
