I've been following along with the discussions related to type
hints[1] on python-ideas and python-dev. I'm interested enough to
start looking into this for my own nefarious purposes. At work, we
have lots of C++ code wrapped by Boost.Python. It seems like creating
type hint stubs for those libraries might be useful. Even if it proves
not to be all that useful for me, it's a ready code base which I could
mess around with and not bother anybody else.
Alas, my environment is still 100% Python 2.7. It looks like mypy
isn't going to be doing Python 2.x anytime soon. Are there any type
hint/check tools available which will work with Python 2?
Thx,

Nothing at all wrong with Python 2.7. Possibly better still from
https://github.com/JukkaL/mypy it says "You need Python 3.2 or later to
run mypy. You can have multiple Python versions (2.x and 3.x) installed
on the same system without problems." I'm just thinking out aloud, does
this mean you could use a 3.x version running anywhere you like to check
out your 2.7 codebase? Just a thought, and only one way to find out
unless somebody better qualified than I am can give a definitive statement.
