New submission from Ville Skyttä <ville.sky...@iki.fi>: The documentation of typing.Optional seems to promote practices for not specifying Optional that are recommended against in PEP 484:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#union-types -- end of chapter recommends against inferring Optional. https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/typing.html#typing.Optional -- second paragraph promotes the possibility of leaving out Optional. I'm not sure how to improve the typing.Optional doc wording, perhaps it would be better to just remove the second paragraph altogether. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 323132 nosy: docs@python, scop priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Don't promote possibility to omit Optional on optional/defaulted arguments type: enhancement versions: Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34336> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
