 """Data types used in describing Iceberg schemas
-
 This module implements the data types described in the Iceberg specification 
for Iceberg schemas. To
 describe an Iceberg table schema, these classes can be used in the 
construction of a StructType instance.
-
 Example:
     >>> StructType(
         [
             NestedField(True, 1, "required_field", StringType()),
             NestedField(False, 2, "optional_field", IntegerType()),
         ]
     )
-
 Notes:

 """
 
-from typing import Optional
+from typing import Any, Dict, List, Optional, Tuple
 
 
-class Type:
-    def __init__(self, type_string: str, repr_string: str, is_primitive=False):
-        self._type_string = type_string
-        self._repr_string = repr_string
-        self._is_primitive = is_primitive

Review comment:
       I agree with @rdblue about it. It would be much simpler and easy to 
understand and maintain if we do that separately. I gave it a try in 
https://github.com/apache/iceberg/pull/3965 and seems quite straightforward.
   
   For the decorator example, while the object created using FixedType will be 
singleton, but IIUC, the FixedType itself is a function not a class any more, 
right? So we cannot call class methods from it, etc. It is better we don't use 
decorator.
