| Static Typing for Python | |
| ======================== | |
| Documentation and Support | |
| ------------------------- | |
| The documentation for Python's static typing can be found at | |
| [typing.readthedocs.io](https://typing.readthedocs.io/). You can get | |
| help either in our [support forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) or | |
| chat with us on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/python/typing). | |
| Improvements to the type system should be discussed on the | |
| [typing-sig](https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/typing-sig.python.org/) | |
| mailing list, although the [issues](https://github.com/python/typing/issues) in this | |
| repository contain some historic discussions. | |
| Repository Content | |
| ------------------ | |
| This GitHub repository is used for several things: | |
| - The `typing_extensions` module lives in the | |
| [typing\_extensions](./typing_extensions) directory. | |
| - The documentation at [typing.readthedocs.io](https://typing.readthedocs.io/) | |
| is maintained in the [docs directory](./docs). | |
| - A [discussion forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) for typing-related user | |
| help is hosted here. | |
| Historically, this repository hosted a backport of the | |
| [`typing` module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) for older | |
| Python versions. The last released version, supporting Python 2.7 and 3.4, | |
| is [available at PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/typing/). | |
