# Python Types Intro

Python has support for optional "type hints" (also called "type annotations").

These **"type hints"** or annotations are a special syntax that allow declaring the <abbr title="for example: str, int, float, bool">type</abbr> of a variable.

By declaring types for your variables, editors and tools can give you better support.

  //
  // Never: the webhook will not be called more than once in a single admission evaluation.
  //
  // IfNeeded: the webhook will be called at least one additional time as part of the admission evaluation
  // if the object being admitted is modified by other admission plugins after the initial webhook call.
  // Webhooks that specify this option *must* be idempotent, able to process objects they previously admitted.
  // Note:

     * mirror, its URL and ID will be updated to match the values from the mirror specification. Repositories without a
     * matching mirror will pass through unchanged. Note: This method must be called before
     * {@link #injectAuthentication(List, List)} or the repositories will end up with the wrong credentials.
     *

   *
   * <p>If a character has no mapped replacement then it is checked against the safe range. If it
   * lies outside that, then {@link #escapeUnsafe} is called, otherwise no escaping is performed.
   *
   * @param replacementMap a map of characters to their escaped representations
   * @param safeMin the lowest character value in the safe range

        // if a buffer isn't being cleared correctly, this method will eventually start being called
        // with a len of 0 forever
        if (len <= 0) {
          fail("read called with a len of " + len);
        }
        // read fewer than the max number of chars to read
        // shouldn't be a problem unless the buffer is shrinking each call
        return in.read(cbuf, off, Math.max(len - 1024, 0));
      }
    };
  }

 * Permitted to short-circuit and not call `Chain.proceed()`.
 * Permitted to retry and make multiple calls to `Chain.proceed()`.
 * Can adjust Call timeouts using withConnectTimeout, withReadTimeout, withWriteTimeout.

**Network Interceptors**

 * Able to operate on intermediate responses like redirects and retries.
 * Not invoked for cached responses that short-circuit the network.

	globalServiceFreezeMu.Lock()
	// If multiple calls, first one creates channel.
	globalServiceFreezeCnt++
	if globalServiceFreezeCnt == 1 {
		globalServiceFreeze.Store(make(chan struct{}))

	globalServiceFreezeMu.Unlock()
}

// unfreezeServices will unfreeze all incoming S3 API calls.
// For each call, unfreezeServices must be called once.
func unfreezeServices() {

	return true

func (l *localLocker) Lock(ctx context.Context, args dsync.LockArgs) (reply bool, err error) {
	if len(args.Resources) > maxDeleteList {
		return false, fmt.Errorf("internal error: localLocker.Lock called with more than %d resources", maxDeleteList)
	}

	defer l.mutex.Unlock()

Calls are executed in one of two ways:

 * **Synchronous:** your thread blocks until the response is readable.
 * **Asynchronous:** you enqueue the request on any thread, and get [called back](https://square.github.io/okhttp/4.x/okhttp/okhttp3/-callback/) on another thread when the response is readable.
