I am little experimenting with Python type annotation today. I wrote a simple class as below:
>>> from datetime import date >>> class Person: ... dob: date ... def __init__(self, dob): ... self.dob = dob ... >>> Person(11) <__main__.Person object at 0x10e078128> >>> p = Person(11) >>> p.dob 11 Although I marked dob as date type, why am I able to assign it an int? So my question how does type annotation helps, when should we use them and what advantages it brings?
