Tool for translation of type comments to type annotations in Python.
The tool requires Python 3.8 to run. But the supported target code version
is Python 3.4+ (can be specified with --python-minor-version
).
Currently, the tool translates function and assignment type comments to type annotations. For example this code:
from typing import Optional, Final
MAX_LEVEL = 80 # type: Final
class Template:
default = None # type: Optional[str]
def apply(self, value, **opts):
# type (str, **bool) -> str
...
will be translated to:
from typing import Optional, Final
MAX_LEVEL: Final = 80
class Template:
default: Optional[str] = None
def apply(self, value: str, **opts: str) -> str:
...
The philosophy of the tool is to be minimally invasive, and preserve original formatting as much as possible. This is why the tool doesn't use un-parse.
The only (optional) formatting code modification is wrapping long function
signatures. To specify the maximal length, use --wrap-signatures MAX_LENGTH
.
The signatures are wrapped one argument per line (after each comma), for example:
def apply(self,
value: str,
**opts: str) -> str:
...
For working with stubs, there are two additional options for assignments:
--drop-ellipsis
and --drop-none
. They will result in omitting the redundant
right hand sides. For example, this:
var = ... # type: List[int]
class Test:
attr = None # type: str
will be translated with such options to:
var: List[int]
class Test:
attr: str
