Jelle Zijlstra <jelle.zijlstra@gmail.com> added the comment: The documentation (https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/typing.html#typing.BinaryIO) now mentions the typing.io and typing.re namespaces. I would prefer that they be deprecated and eventually completely removed. They don't work with most static type checkers. https://bugs.python.org/issue42001 makes the same points. ---------- nosy: +Jelle Zijlstra title: Unclear status of the typing.io and typing.re pseudo-modules in docs and runtime -> Deprecate the typing.io and typing.re pseudo-modules versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.11 -Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38291> _______________________________________
