Backported and Experimental Type Hints for Python
The typing module was added to the standard library in Python 3.5, but many new features have been added to the module since then. This means users of older Python versions who are unable to upgrade will not be able to take advantage of new types added to the typing module, such as typing.Protocol or typing.TypedDict.
The typingextensions module contains backports of these changes.
Experimental types that will eventually be added to the typing
module are also included in typingextensions.
