pyannotating 1.3.0

Library of annotations for humans

Pyannotating

Structures your annotations and puts more information into them.

Installation

pip install pyannotating

Examples

Create annotation templates

from typing import Callable, Any, Optional, Iterable

from pyannotating import *


handler_of = AnnotationTemplate(Callable, [[input_annotation], Any])
handler_of[int | float]

Callable[[int | float], Any]

in a nested way

optional_reformer_of = AnnotationTemplate(
    Callable,
    [[input_annotation], AnnotationTemplate(Optional, [input_annotation])]
)

optional_reformer_of[int]

Callable[[int], Optional[int]]

with non-strict input annotation

summator_of = AnnotationTemplate(Callable, [[input_annotation | int, input_annotation], int])
summator_of[float]

Callable[[float | int, float], int]

Integrate comments into annotations

even = FormalAnnotation("Formal annotation of even numbers.")

number: even[int | float] = 42

or subgroups of existing types

natural_numbers = Subgroup(int, lambda number: number > 0)

isinstance(14, natural_numbers)
isinstance(-1.2, natural_numbers)

64 in natural_numbers

True
False
True

or downcasts

def transform(numbers: Special[range, Iterable[int]], additional: Special[None] = None) -> Any:
    ...

# Equals to

def transform(numbers: Iterable[int], additional: Any = None) -> Any:
    ...

or just some pre-made templates and annotations

many_or_one[int | float]
number

int | float | Iterable[int | float]
int | float | complex
