Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I agree this is a bit unfortunate, but I also think it's a bit late to change now. However *if* we're going to change it we should do it now (in 3.10) or never. Given that we never *write* type(None) in annotations, it's unfortunate to get that back whenever we wrote None. I personally don't care because I never use get_type_hints() -- I don't use annotations at runtime (which may also be how this snuck into get_type_hints() in the first place -- some misguided idea that it should return a "type"). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42881> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
