This is something we’re discussing for importlib.resources: https://bugs.python.org/issue32248#msg308495 In the standalone version, we’re using annotations for the Python 3 bits. It would make our lives easier if we kept them for the stdlib version (applying diffs and keeping them in sync would be easier). Brett says in the follow up: "As for the type hints, I thought it was lifted such that new code could include it but we wouldn't be taking PRs to add them to pre-existing code?” So, what’s the deal? -Barry
