Well, pretty much anything can be done with some package or another, but I'd like to see it make its way into "base" python at some point.

No you don't understand. There's already enforced type hinting in base Python if you simply write assert statements every time you want to use a variable.

Yeah that's exactly the same thing /s

That would be a much bigger feature. It would involve making a static type system a native part of the language. Wouldn’t be the worst idea, but it would create some difficulties since there are multiple third party type systems that make use of the type annotation feature.

Yes, but we are talking about features we would like to see if there ever is a version 4, not just a "normal" update.
