Nikita Sobolev, Inline Syntax for TypedDict

Slides

Recording

Notes and followups:

• Nikita talked about possible syntaxes for inline TypedDict, dict[] vs TypedDict[], aliasing, and runtime concerns.

• Question: What are some real-world use cases where we would want an inline TypedDict instead of a named TypedDict? To what extent do people want to reuse TypedDict fields (“inheritance”)?

• Nesting: Should a nested TypedDict be written as a raw dictionary literal or be wrapped with `TypedDict[{...}]`?

• How feasible are generic inline TypedDicts at runtime?
