About Type Hints

Type Hints is a learning skill for Python developers who want to annotate code and use static checking with mypy. It covers fundamentals through advanced typing and runtime validation.

Key features

  1. 01Variable and function annotations
  2. 02Optional, union, and literal types
  3. 03Generics, TypeVar, and ParamSpec
  4. 04Protocols and structural typing
  5. 05mypy setup and strict checking
  6. 06Runtime types and validation

Use cases

  1. 01Add type annotations to Python code
  2. 02Configure mypy for a project
  3. 03Model reusable generic APIs
  4. 04Document and validate data structures
