Typing -- Type Hints for Python
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a backport of the standard library typing module to Python
|
||
|
|
versions older than 3.5. (See note below for newer versions.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Typing defines a standard notation for Python function and variable
|
||
|
|
type annotations. The notation can be used for documenting code in a
|
||
|
|
concise, standard format, and it has been designed to also be used by
|
||
|
|
static and runtime type checkers, static analyzers, IDEs and other
|
||
|
|
tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NOTE: in Python 3.5 and later, the typing module lives in the stdlib,
|
||
|
|
and installing this package has NO EFFECT. To get a newer version of
|
||
|
|
the typing module in Python 3.5 or later, you have to upgrade to a
|
||
|
|
newer Python (bugfix) version. For example, typing in Python 3.6.0 is
|
||
|
|
missing the definition of 'Type' -- upgrading to 3.6.2 will fix this.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also note that most improvements to the typing module in Python 3.7
|
||
|
|
will not be included in this package, since Python 3.7 has some
|
||
|
|
built-in support that is not present in older versions (See PEP 560.)
