typingx 0.2.2

Extend typing package functionalities

typingx

typing is great but it changed a lot since 3.6 and it's not over!

This library purpose is to have a consistent behaviour for all those versions to mimic the most recent one and go even further with typing (and typing_extensions).

It provides:

• get_args and get_origin for python 3.6 to 3.9 that mimic 3.10 behaviour
• is_literal, is_typeddict helpers
• most typing types but with homogeneous behaviour (e.g. with 3.8, typing.TypedDict won't store information to distinguish optional and required keys. This lib will hence choose typing_extensions version)

but also:

• isinstancex: like isinstance but with typing(x) types
• extra types:
  • Listx and Tuplex: more sophisticated versions of List and Tuple to add ... anywhere in the parameters
• extanded types:
  • TypedDict has a __extra__ field (value can be changed) to allow type checking on optional fields
