================= Typing Extensions ================= .. image:: https://badges.gitter.im/python/typing.svg :alt: Chat at https://gitter.im/python/typing :target: https://gitter.im/python/typing?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge Overview ======== 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`` (see PEP 544 for details about protocols and static duck typing) or ``TypedDict`` (see PEP 589). Users of other Python versions should continue to install and use 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. Included items ============== This module currently contains the following: All Python versions: -------------------- - ``ClassVar`` - ``ContextManager`` - ``Counter`` - ``DefaultDict`` - ``Deque`` - ``final`` - ``Final`` - ``Literal`` - ``NewType`` - ``NoReturn`` - ``overload`` (note that older versions of ``typing`` only let you use ``overload`` in stubs) - ``Protocol`` (except on Python 3.5.0) - ``runtime`` (except on Python 3.5.0) - ``Text`` - ``Type`` - ``TypedDict`` - ``TYPE_CHECKING`` Python 3.4+ only: ----------------- - ``ChainMap`` Python 3.5+ only: ----------------- - ``AsyncIterable`` - ``AsyncIterator`` - ``AsyncContextManager`` - ``Awaitable`` - ``Coroutine`` Python 3.6+ only: ----------------- - ``AsyncGenerator`` Other Notes and Limitations =========================== There are a few types whose interface was modified between different versions of typing. For example, ``typing.Sequence`` was modified to subclass ``typing.Reversible`` as of Python 3.5.3. These changes are _not_ backported to prevent subtle compatibility issues when mixing the differing implementations of modified classes. Running tests ============= To run tests, navigate into the appropriate source directory and run ``test_typing_extensions.py``. You will also need to install the latest version of ``typing`` if you are using a version of Python that does not include ``typing`` as a part of the standard library.
