Yes, YES, *YES*!!!! That would be my first choice, or docstrings as a secondary. But to introduce new syntax into the method signatures is SUICIDE! What the hell is this man thinking?
I take it you mean these men Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org>, Jukka Lehtosalo <jukka.lehtosalo at iki.fi>, Łukasz Langa <lukasz at langa.pl> as they are the authors of PEP484?
Agreed. I'm not against the idea, heck, i want to see Python improve just like anybody who loves this language, but the implementation just plain sucks! Please convince GvR to move this noisy syntax OUTSIDE of the signature! It's too noisy and its going to turn people off.
What implementation? The PEP is quite clearly marked as draft. The Re-enactment of the Battle of Pearl Harbour is currently ongoing over on python-ideas regarding exactly what should be implemented. There is also nothing to stop you writing another PEP with an alternative proposal, although I suspect there is as much chance of that ever happening as there is of ever seeing RickedPython(3).
