Hi all, Something that's on many of our wishlists is support for variadic generics. Here's a first draft of a PEP detailing how they might work. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oXWyAtnv0-pbyJud8H5wkpIk8aajbkX-leJ8JXsE... (Attached is also an HTML render of the RST for easier reading.) This is an early draft so there are likely many things we're still missing. Please do take a look and give us your feedback (in the doc directly or by email, whichever is easiest for you). Thanks! Matthew

Does the "many" there include any core devs who would sponsor your PEP? If so, the best way to move forward would be to get someone to sign off on it, and actually publish it as a proper document. ChrisA
If this receives positive feedback on typing-sig I would definitely sponsor it. But I'd first like to have the discussion there (and the time to read it). (FWIW I would prefer the discussion to happen on typing-sig, not python-ideas.) On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 7:04 AM Chris Angelico <rosuav@gmail.com> wrote:

Generally looks good to me, although the name ListVariadic seems a bit jargony (and worse, appears to be jargon imported from another language). I think something like TypeListVar would be clearer. -- Greg

Agreed. (I was just about to write my own comment saying the same thing.) I was thinking "TypeVarList" originally, but I also like "TypeListVar". -- David Foster | Seattle, WA, USA Contributor to TypedDict support for mypy
