You misunderstand me. I'm not referring to PEP 563, which is still optional and requires the user to opt-in with a future import. I'm referring to the *manual* use of strings for forward references, which has been part of type-hinting since PEP 484 way back in 2014. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#forward-references I expect that people were using strings for forward references before PEP 484, but it was 484 that made it official. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/NGW3E43JXZ4N25GPXZIMSIAKHSMHUTSA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
