Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
Google is announcing that pytype, their static type analyzer for Python code, will have its last supported Python version as 3.12. While they remain actively interested in Python type checking, they are shifting investments toward new ideas and different frameworks. The tool was originally developed in 2012 to meet Google developers' demand for compile-time checking, evolving from type inference and interface files to inline annotations after PEP 484 acceptance. The pytype team also collaborated with Guido van Rossum and mypy to create typeshed.
