Would annotations() just access the dunder, like other builtins (and then result in the descriptor resolving __co_annotations__ as proposed), or would calling it be required to actually resolve __co_annotations__? I think it should probably be the former. On Sat, 2021-01-16 at 12:29 +1300, Greg Ewing wrote:

As mentioned previously in this thread, typing.get_type_hints() is opinionated in ways that users of annotations may not want.
This brings us back to my idea of introducing a new annotations() function to hide the details. It wouldn't be the same as get_type_hints(), since it wouldn't make any assumptions about what the annotations mean.
