Downstream type hints?

[woodruffw]

First of all, thanks for this fantastic library!

I'm currently working on using cyclonedx-python-lib to generate SBOMs within pip-audit.

Our codebase is fully typechecked (via MyPy), and it looks like this library is too! But we can't currently consume your type hints, since the cyclonedx package doesn't include a py.typed file per PEP 561.

Is there any objection to including that file, so that downstream users can typecheck their API use? If not, I can go ahead and create a PR -- it should be just a 2 or 3 line change.

thanks you very much for the hint, @woodruffw 👍
we are currently working on this issue.

[woodruffw]

Awesome, thanks a ton! Let me know if I can help with testing or anything else.

@woodruffw the release v0.11.0 included PEP 561 compatibility.

Could you see if it suites your needs?

[woodruffw]

Thanks! I'll test them now.

Looks like the type hints are working! Thanks a ton for adding them so quickly. The only outstanding issues preventing me from using them are in #61.

Great news @woodruffw - #61 is merged now and building - point release expected shortly.
