python-typemap 0.1.0

Computed types for Python — PEP 827 implementation (fork of vercel/python-typemap)

Type Manipulation in Python

[!NOTE] This is iliyasone's fork of vercel/python-typemap, published on PyPI as python-typemap (the modules it installs keep their upstream names, typemap and typemap_extensions). It tracks upstream main plus one change: method annotations are skipped when collecting Attrs. Apache-2.0, same as upstream.

This is the development repository for PEP 827 – Type Manipulation, which proposes TypeScript-inspired type-level introspection and construction facilities for the Python type system.

This repository contains an implementation of the proposed additions to typing (typemap/typing.py), exported as the module typemap_extensions.

It also contains a prototype runtime evaluator (typemap/type_eval).

Discussion of the PEP is at the PEP 827 discussion thread.

A prototype typechecker implementation lives at https://github.com/msullivan/mypy-typemap and is a test dependency of this repo.

There is an example repo with a straightforward skeleton for playing around with the proposal.

Development

1. Clone the repo
2. $ cd typemap
3. $ uv sync
4. $ uv run pytest

Running the typechecker

The prototype mypy can be run from this repo with uv run mypy. Stubs are set up so that importing typemap_extensions will do the right thing.

uv run pytest tests/test_mypy_proto.py will run the mypy prototype against a supported subset of test files.

You can also run the prototype mypy directly on a file with uv run mypy <file>
