Typing Extensions – Backported and Experimental Type Hints for Python
|
||
|
||
The typing module was added to the standard library in Python 3.5 on a
|
||
provisional basis and will no longer be provisional in Python 3.7.
|
||
However, this means users of Python 3.5 - 3.6 who are unable to upgrade
|
||
will not be able to take advantage of new types added to the typing
|
||
module, such as typing.Text or typing.Coroutine.
|
||
|
||
The typing_extensions module contains both backports of these changes as
|
||
well as experimental types that will eventually be added to the typing
|
||
module, such as Protocol or TypedDict.
|
||
|
||
Users of other Python versions should continue to install and use the
|
||
typing module from PyPi instead of using this one unless specifically
|
||
writing code that must be compatible with multiple Python versions or
|
||
requires experimental types.
