This is my first post on this list, so please don't kill me if I ask it in the wrong place, or if the question is stupid.
I asked this question on Stack Overflow already:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47163048/python- annotations-difference-between-tuple-and
In very short, which form is correct ?
def func() -> Tuple[int, int]
But this requires to import the typing module.
Or this (doesn't crash):
def func() -> (int, int):
The former is correct. Type checkers should reject the second one. But
because type checking in Python is through static analysis, either will work at runtime—you need to run a separate static analysis tool like mypy or pytype to find type errors in your code.
Also, python-dev is a mailing list for the development of Python, not for questions about Python. The Gitter chatroom at https://gitter.im/python/typing and the typing issue tracker at https://github.com/python/typing are better places for questions about typing in Python.
