assert_never
Basic functionality
assert_never makes sure that the type of the argument is Never.
Correct usage
from typing_extensions import assert_never, Never, Any
from ty_extensions import Unknown
def _(never: Never):
    assert_never(never)  # fine
Diagnostics
If it is not, a type-assertion-failure diagnostic is emitted.
from typing_extensions import assert_never, Never, Any
from ty_extensions import Unknown
def _():
    assert_never(0)  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _():
    assert_never("")  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _():
    assert_never(None)  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _():
    assert_never(())  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _(flag: bool, never: Never):
    assert_never(1 if flag else never)  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _(any_: Any):
    assert_never(any_)  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
def _(unknown: Unknown):
    assert_never(unknown)  # error: [type-assertion-failure]
Use case: Type narrowing and exhaustiveness checking
[environment]
python-version = "3.10"
assert_never can be used in combination with type narrowing as a way to make sure that all cases
are handled in a series of isinstance checks or other narrowing patterns that are supported.
