Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> added the comment: Maybe historically constrained type vars predated bound type vars. This could have influenced the way PEP 484 was written and then the docs were derived from the PEP. But yes, this should be fixed in as many places as possible (including the mypy docs, probably). I would even support a minor update to PEP 484 to help people find the right way (the PEP is still widely cited). It would have to be just be a textual change, not a spec change. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue46769> _______________________________________
