from typing import Protocol, List, Dict
from datetime import datetime

class MeasurementLike(Protocol):
    timestamp: datetime

def calculate_windowed_avg(
        measurements: List[MeasurementLike],
        ...
    ) -> Dict[datetime, float]:
    window_upper_bound = measurements[0].timestamp + window_size
