Hi Armin,

thanks for the tip. I actually need the annotations in runtime to do serialization / deserialization (using two my libraries, cattrs and another one for which I haven't written the docs yet). I use annotated attrs classes. Usually I just move the type annotations from the annotation syntax to "attr.ib(type=...)" using sed so it's not that big of a deal, but it's still a chore.

Cheers :)

Look at tools that do the stripping automatically. Maybe
https://pypi.org/project/strip-hints/ with the option
--only-assigns-and-defs ?

A bientôt,
