I just saw that there is a PR in progress (#225) which would add a .pyi
file for @wrapt.decorator
. Since wrapt now appears to be Python 3.6+, an alternative would be to add the type hint annotations directly to the .py
file itself in the signature line of @wrapt.decorator
.
Yes, please :)
For the developers of packages that make use of wrapt, it would be helpful for user-facing objects to have type hint annotations.
As an example use case, I'm adding static type checking with mypy to the continuous integration suite of a package. This particular package uses
wrapt
in a decorator that we use frequently throughout the package. Because mypy follows dependencies, it was unable to fully type check our usage of@wrapt.decorator
. We added a rudimentary type stub file in https://github.com/PlasmaPy/PlasmaPy/pull/2442 to get around this limitation. It would be helpful to have the type hints in@wrapt.decorator
itself, as well as other widely used code.The mypy documentation has a section on annotating decorators.
Thank you for creating a wonderful package!
