New submission from Komiya Takeshi <i.tkom...@gmail.com>:
I noticed `typing.get_type_hints()` returns Optional[Any] as a type hints if the default value of the argument is None: ``` $ python Python 3.9.0 (default, Oct 24 2020, 15:41:29) [Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.59)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from typing import Any, get_type_hints >>> def hello(name: Any = None): ... pass ... >>> get_type_hints(hello) {'name': typing.Optional[typing.Any]} ``` I know typing.get_type_hints() wraps the user's type annotation with Optional when the default value of the argument is None. But it is needless to wrap Any with Optional because Any already contains None. It would be better not to wrap it with Optional when the user's annotation is Any. ---------- messages: 380532 nosy: i.tkomiya priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: typing.get_type_hints() returns Optional[Any] if the default value of the argument is None versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42288> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
