Why is it that many of the examples for the "typing.protocal" class right below this involve meth??? Python WTF?
`meth` is just a historical abbreviation.
Mind that support for methods as first-class objects was introduced with Python 2.5 [0].
That was in 2006, a few years before "meth" became engrained in European popular culture as an abbreviation for methamphetamines. The abbreviation was never changed.
