Really like Pydantic - assuming you’re happy to step outside the standard library. It does have a few sharp edges, but out of the box it includes all the stuff you eventually end up needing anyway. attrs is the other big Python parsing / validation library. I know nothing about it other than it’s also popular and that it distinguishes itself philosophically from Pydantic in a number of ways.

Don’t forget to use ‘ConfigDict(frozen=True)’ absolutely everywhere!
