New submission from Karl Kornel <k...@kornel.us>:
Hello! In https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/typing.py#L115-L117, there is a note about the io and re classes not being included in typing.__all__. I am a relatively new user of typing, and I did `from typing import *` in my code. I ran the code through mypy first, which reported no problems, but then running Python 3.6 failed with a NameError (name 'IO' is not defined). Reading through the typing source, it's clear that this was an intentional decision. So, instead of reporting a bug, I'd like to request a documentation enhancement! The docs for typing make no mention of typing.io or typing.re. So, my request is: In the sections for the IO/TextIO/BinaryIO and Pattern/Match classes, include text warning the user that these types are not imported when you do `from typing import *`. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 353763 nosy: Karl Kornel, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: In typing docs, note explicit import needed for IO and Pattern/Match type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38352> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
