yeah it’s an interesting case that an int can be treated as a float. I should probably update my post to mention that it’s not strictly a supertype but a special exception mentioned in python’s typehinting pep: https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#the-numeric-tower
That was definitely a nice feature (I forget exactly when list over List was added). That said I’ve never really been bothered about having imports. Especially when I know the import is side effect free like the typing module. But I definitely use import free list for script files without many lines of code.
Yeah there’s definitely a lot of room for improvement here
Am I being stupid but would this not be a good reason to eat more of them? Be the wolves and Lynxes you want to see in the world.
