The official home for Python's static typing system, hosting the type system specification, documentation at typing.python.org, a user support forum, and conformance tests for Python type checkers. It is primarily a documentation and coordination hub rather than a runnable library.

Use cases

• learn python type hints
• read the python typing specification
• find help with python typing errors
• check which python type checkers pass conformance tests
• propose changes to the python type system
• understand gradual typing in python

When to choose

• you need authoritative documentation or the spec for Python's type system
• you want to discuss or propose typing system changes
• you need user help with typing questions
• you're building a type checker and want conformance tests

When to avoid

• you need the typing_extensions package itself (it lives in a separate repo)
• you need a runtime typing backport for old Python versions (use PyPI)
• you want a type checker tool rather than documentation
