New submission from Jelle Zijlstra <jelle.zijls...@gmail.com>:
I've often seen people say things like "I can't use TypeGuard yet, I'm stuck on 3.9". That's not true, because the typing_extensions package backports all typing features to all supported Python versions. To help make people aware of this option, we should mention typing_extensions in https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/typing.html. Perhaps this can go in the "Relevant PEPs" section, or at the end of the intro section. Suggested wording: "New features have been added to the typing module in each major version of Python. The typing extensions (link to GitHub) package provides backports to all supported versions of Python 3 for almost all of these features." ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 411434 nosy: AlexWaygood, Jelle Zijlstra, docs@python, gvanrossum, kj, sobolevn, srittau priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Mention typing_extensions in the typing documentation versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.11, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46494> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
