Why Type Hinting Sucks!

• mypy

  112 17,541 9.7 Python

  Optional static typing for Python

  

But MyPy on strict is complaining that slow_add is missing a type annotation, after reading this issue you realize that @overload is only useful for users of your function but the body of your function will not be tested using @overload. Fortunately in the discussion on that issue there is an alternative example of how to implement:

• pyright

  135 12,006 9.8 Python

  Static Type Checker for Python

  

Unfortunately 4 is fundamentally broken with tuples, I had to raise a ticket with pyright to understand why: https://github.com/microsoft/pyright/issues/4613/

That's what tools like darglint are for (yes, I'm aware darglint was recently moved to maintenance mode).
