Are you using types in Python ?

Python is not as statically typed language but we can specify the type of a variable. Do you use this feature and if it's the case why and how ?

Yes, I use type hints extensively. It helps with autocompletion and let's you catch bugs before you even run the code. lt is also much easier to use a 3rd party module if functions/methods are annotated, since you know what kinds of arguments they expect from you.

Also reading functions like this is alot more pleasant. I use type hints so much. Almost 100% if I can help it
