Ah, I get you now. I'd expect typing to be available exactly the same way as pip is. For me (on Windows) that means that it's available in a standard install. On Unix, I don't know (I think there's certain situations where you need to take extra steps in a custom build to ensure pip is available? I'd expect those steps to also install typing. So basically, yes, typing can be expected to be available in all installations, exactly the same as pip is.
