Thanks Guido, also to the rest of the PEP team (4 people) :)

I'm happy to present PEP 526 for your collective review: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526/ (HTML) https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep-0526.txt (source) There's also an implementation ready: https://github.com/ilevkivskyi/cpython/tree/pep-526 I don't want to post the full text here but I encourage feedback on the high-order ideas, including but not limited to - Whether (given PEP 484's relative success) it's worth adding syntax for variable/attribute annotations.
I'd say no, especially because of the negative feedback by not a few thread participants.
- Whether the keyword-free syntax idea proposed here is best: NAME: TYPE TARGET: TYPE = VALUE
If it will come, it's the best because of its similarity with parameter annotations and IIRC there are languages that already do it like this.
Note that there's an extensive list of rejected ideas in the PEP; please be so kind to read it before posting here: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0526/#rejected-proposals-and-things-left-out-for-now
I find everything else well covered in the PEP especially corner-cases like variables without initialization, scopes etc.
