# plain data user1 = dict(id=123, # always int name="uuu", # always str ...) # other fields possible smth = [42, "xx", ...] (why not namedtuple? b/c extensible, mutable) At least one PHP IDE allows to annotate PDO. Perhaps it's just bad taste in Python? Or is there a valid use-case?
Most (all?) of this is actually mentioned in the PEP: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#type-comments
The question was about mixed containers, e.g.: x = [12, "Jane"] y = [13, "John", 99.9] There first element is always int, second always str, and rest is variable.
