New submission from David E. Franco G.:
the issue is that when calling help on a function annotated with typing, all
the relevant information is lost, for example
from typing import List, Any, Iterator, Tuple
def foo(data:List[Any]) -> Iterator[ Tuple[int,Any] ]:
...
when calling help on that
>>> help(foo)
Help on function foo in module __main__:
foo(data:typing.List) -> typing.Iterator
>>>
all the information is lost, the output should look like this
>>> help(foo)
Help on function foo in module __main__:
foo(data:List[Any]) -> Iterator[ Tuple[int, Any] ]:
>>>
where all the information that I put in the annotation is preserved and the
typing.* are eliminated since they only add unnecessary noise
while reporting this issue in the typing module
(https://github.com/python/typing/issues/279) I was told that is a bug with the
inspect module and that help may need modification.
Thank for your time.
