I was sort of hoping we would retire the python dtests before long, at least in large part (probably not ever entirely, but 99%).
I think many of them could be migrated to in-jvm dtests without much effort. I would hate to expend loads of effort modernising them when the same effort could see them superseded by much better versions of the same test.

Relevant links: 1) Optional static typing for python: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html 2) Mypy static type checker for python: https://github.com/python/mypy So the question - has anyone given any serious thought to introducing type hints and a static type checker in ccm and python dtests? A search on dev ponymail doesn't turn up anything. I've used it pretty extensively in the past and found it incredibly helpful combined with other linters in surfacing troublesome edge cases, and also found it accelerated development quite a bit. Any thoughts on the topic for or against? ~Josh
