New submission from Ryan McCampbell <rmccampbe...@gmail.com>:
Until 3.8 the curses window class was not directly available in code, but now
it is available as `_curses.window`. This is not explicitly stated in the
documentation (although it is consistent with how the method signatures are
written). It is useful to have a public name for the type to aid IDE's with
explicit type annotations, i.e.
@curses.wrapper
def main(stdscr: curses.window):
stdscr.addstr(...)
See https://github.com/python/typeshed/pull/5180, which adds this name to type
hints in the typeshed project.
This name should be more clearly documented so programmers can annotate the
type without worrying that it may change (which will cause a runtime error
unless it is quoted).
