I assumed standard library type hinting support was all based on reading the plain source like inspect does for some things, but I looked at typing.py in the standard library and it seems the compiler does store type hint info on the object itself.
So, if I do:
def myfunc(a: int, b:int): -> str
return "{a} + {b} = {a+b}"
and then compile that to a .pyc file, does the type information stick around such that someone who I've given the .pyc file can use things like typing.get_type_hints() to access it? (With the assumption that I have a valid reason to distribute just the .pyc.)
Well I have just impersonated your someone here :) with your code and the answer is yes it works, after I changed the
def myfunc(a: int, b:int): -> str to
def myfunc(a: int, b:int) -> str:
otherwise it's a syntax error.
