So are we looking for three separate optimization levels at compile time? Base level: evaluate everything, keep it however the original annotations PEP said to keep it. String level: Characters in an annotation are not evaluated; they just get stored in a string. The string (rather than its value) is then kept however the original annotations PEP said things would be kept. Removal level: Annotations are used only with source code (perhaps by static analyzers before compilation); they are dropped entirely during compilation. This might go well with the old compilation mode that drops docstrings. -jJ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/6S2CALLLQPDOI2WQFIINW37CXIO5J7VR/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
