Yes, maybe I can use that.
With Python >= 3.6, also
def f() -> typing.NamedTuple("__f", x=int, y=int): ...
which is concise, but a slightly weird abuse.
But there are other drawbacks:
>>> typing.Tuple[int, int]
typing.Tuple[int, int]
>>> typing.Tuple[int, int] is typing.Tuple[int, int]
True
versus
>>> typing.NamedTuple("__f", x=int, y=int)
<class '__main__.__f'>
>>> typing.NamedTuple("__f", x=int, y=int) is typing.NamedTuple("__f",
x=int, y=int)
False
I think the whole NameTuple implementation looks a bit half-hearted,
so I was looking to find something that is closer to the perfect
behavior of the other typing types.
Maybe I should try to implement something that keeps proper identity
like Tuple and avoids the useless function name? Like
def f() -> typing.KwTuple(x=int, y=int): ...
or
def f() -> typing.KwTuple([("x", int), ("y", int)]): ...
