Hallo, ich habe mal eine Idee veröffentlicht, die mir schon lange vorschwebt: https://github.com/guettli/python-name2type-mapping/ Feedback is willkommen. ------------------------------ Python name2type mapping In October 2018 on the mailing list python-ideas some developers encouraged me, that the idea of a name2type mapping would be usefull. Goal: Better type-hints in IDEs. This is not the goal: Type-hints which get used during run-time. Syntax Proposal The name2type mapping is defined in the docstring of a Python file. The general syntax is "name2type:" followed by a comma sperated list of variable names. Then ":", then the type hint. Examples: """ name2type: my_int, my_number, ....: int name2type: request*: django.http.HttpRequest """" If the docstring is in a file called __init__.py, then the type hints get specified for all files below this directory (recursively). Misc The name2type mapping is just a fall-back. First the IDE does the usual type detection and if no type could be found, then name2type mapping gets used. Except explicitly switched off. But this switch is not part of the spec. -- Thomas Guettler http://www.thomas-guettler.de/ I am looking for feedback: https://github.com/guettli/programming-guidelines
