Typing Extensions - Backported and Experimental Type Hints for Python
The typing module was added to the standard library in Python 3.5 on a
provisional basis and will no longer be provisional in Python 3.7.
However, this means users of Python 3.5 - 3.6 who are unable to upgrade will not
be able to take advantage of new types added to the typing module, such as
typing.Text or typing.Coroutine.
The typing_extensions module contains both backports of these changes as well as
experimental types that will eventually be added to the typing module, such as
Protocol.
Users of other Python versions should continue to install and use the typing
module from PyPi instead of using this one unless specifically writing code that
must be compatible with multiple Python versions or requires experimental types.}
The `typing_extensions` module serves two related purposes:
- Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. For example,
`typing.TypeGuard` is new in Python 3.10, but `typing_extensions` allows
users on Python 3.6 through 3.9 to use it too.
- Enable experimentation with new type system PEPs before they are accepted and
added to the `typing` module.
New features may be added to `typing_extensions` as soon as they are specified
in a PEP that has been added to the [python/peps](https://github.com/python/peps)
repository. If the PEP is accepted, the feature will then be added to `typing`
for the next CPython release. No typing PEP has been rejected so far, so we
haven't yet figured out how to deal with that possibility.
Starting with version 4.0.0, `typing_extensions` uses
[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). The
major version is incremented for all backwards-incompatible changes.
Therefore, it's safe to depend
on `typing_extensions` like this: `typing_extensions >=x.y, <(x+1)`,
where `x.y` is the first version that includes all features you need.
`typing_extensions` supports Python versions 3.7 and higher. In the future,
support for older Python versions will be dropped some time after that version
reaches end of life.}
