*Hi Folks,Cc: Rebecca, pytypeThis is Adam Cataldo; I’m the engineering manager for the Python team at Google. Rebecca Chen, our lead pytype <https://github.com/google/pytype> contributor, and I are interested in helping finalize PEP 484 if possible. To that end, we wanted to find out what technical issues the PEP 484 authors feel they still need to finalize. We also wanted to know how we can help.We have a large Python code base at Google, and may be able to use this to help resolve current incomplete definitions, by collecting data on how types are used. We also have a couple ambiguities that we’d love to get closure on: - One thing we care about in particular, given the implementation of pytype, is the detailed definition of what goes in a .pyi file. Do folks think this makes sense to include as part of PEP 484, or would this be better in a separate PEP? We’d love to get your thoughts.*

What specifically do you want beyond https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files?

* - The relationship between unicode and typing.Text in Python 2 has been a recurring source of confusion for our users. Especially since we contributed <https://github.com/python/peps/pull/302> to the current state of affairs, we’d like to figure out how to establish clarity here.Thoughts?*

Do be aware, Adam, that due to Guido's retirement last week people might be a bit preoccupied and so a little slow in responding. But then again Guido just got a bit more free time so he might chime in on this one. ;) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
