I was trying to write a click option argument with type=click.Choice((“North”, “South”, “West”, “East”)) and I also like to annotate the function itself for documentation (even though I call it without passing arguments). Something like the the following.. @click.command() @click.option(“--direction”, type=click.Choice((“North”, “South”, “West”, “East”)), default=“North”) def main(direction: “North” | “South” | “West” | “East” = “North”) -> None: print(direction)

Hello all,
Why can’t we use the literals directly as types? For example,
x: Literal[1, 2, 3] = 3 name: Literal[“John”] | None = “John"
Become ….
x: 1 | 2 | 3 = 3 name: “John” | None = “John"
def open(file: Path | str, mode: “w” | “a” = “w”): …
