| Static Typing for Python |
| ======================== |
| |
| Documentation and Support |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| The documentation for Python's static typing can be found at |
| [typing.readthedocs.io](https://typing.readthedocs.io/). You can get |
| help either in our [support forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) or |
| chat with us on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/python/typing). |
| |
| Improvements to the type system should be discussed on the |
| [typing-sig](https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/typing-sig.python.org/) |
| mailing list, although the [issues](https://github.com/python/typing/issues) in this |
| repository contain some historic discussions. |
| |
| Repository Content |
| ------------------ |
| |
| This GitHub repository is used for several things: |
| |
| - The `typing_extensions` module lives in the |
| [typing\_extensions](./typing_extensions) directory. |
| |
| - The documentation at [typing.readthedocs.io](https://typing.readthedocs.io/) |
| is maintained in the [docs directory](./docs). |
| |
| - A [discussion forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) for typing-related user |
| help is hosted here. |
| |
| Historically, this repository hosted a backport of the |
| [`typing` module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) for older |
| Python versions. The last released version, supporting Python 2.7 and 3.4, |
| is [available at PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/typing/). |
