Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
@no_type_check (introduced by PEP 484) is intended for static checkers, to signal to them that they shouldn't check the given function or class. I don't think PEP 484 specifies its runtime effect -- arguably get_type_hints() could just ignore it. Or raise an exception when called on such a class. We could even argue that @no_type_check shouldn't have a runtime effect. But before we change anything we should be guided by: 1. What is documented? 2. What does it do now? 3. How is that used by runtime type inspectors? 4. What would be most useful to runtime type inspectors? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46571> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
