Type hints like in PEP 484 work on all Python 3 versions, and something
similar to your proposal is already supported on Python 2 [1].

Hello,
Here, I am proposing a change on python type annotation.
Python was born to be a simple and elegant language. However recent change
has again introduce new incompatibility to python.
The PEP 484 is proposing a type hint which can annotate the type of each
parameters. How ever code written in this format can not be run for
python3.5 and below.
It is an exciting new feature to be able to know the data type from the
code, But I am afraid this is not worth such a incompatibility.
Here I want to propose a new way of annotation in python as follows
def reportAge(name, age):
''' this a a greeting function and some other comment...
!str, int -> str
'''
return name+' is ' + age
we can put the annotation in the comment block and use a symbol '!' or
other symbol suitable to lead a annotation line.
the annotation should be positionally corresponding to the parameters.
