Trove Classifier Request: Typing

[tailhook]

Request to add a new Trove classifier.

The name of the classifier you would like to add

Something like this:

• Programming Language :: Python :: Typing

But I'm sure this isn't perfect name, so I'm open to bikeshedding.

Why do you want to add this classifier?

This should show, that source code either covered by type annotations, or has a .pyi files that accompany sources. Also package should include py.typed file as far as I understand.

highlighting a selection of top contributors from the typing module itself to solicit opinions on this classifier name, though it seems reasonable to me.

• I'm not sure how we would spread the word that people should add this classifier.
• I'd name it "Typed" rather than "Typing".

I'm not sure how we would spread the word that people should add this classifier.

Looks like this: http://py3readiness.org/ was a great idea, and may be repeated.

I'd name it "Typed" rather than "Typing".

When searching a list I was looking for mypy and typing not sure if I would find Typed. Anyway, may be full name like this would be nice:

• Typing :: Typed

Another thought, we may want to distinguish type bindings using .pyi and fully typechecked modules. But I'm not sure if it makes sense.

[gvanrossum]

"Typing :: Typed" is fine. Distinguishing between the two approaches seems overkill, and in fact it's totally fine to use a mixture (or use .pyi files to cover extension modules but inline annotations for the rest).

[asvetlov]

In aiohttp we have both stubs and inline annotations

[ilevkivskyi]

FWIW I am equally fine with both Typing and Typed.

[dstufft]

Just to clarify, y'all would like: Programming Language :: Python :: Typing :: Typed as your classifier?

[tailhook]

I expected bare Typing :: Typed.

[asvetlov]

Programming Language :: Python makes sense for me

[ambv]

There's no precedent in specifying features of the language used in a project by classifiers under "Programming Language :: Python". I think what we're after here is closer to what "Framework ::" is doing. Thus, I would like to see a bare "Typing :: Typed".

[ethanhs]

I agree with @ambv, I think the bare "Typing::Typed" spelling makes sense.

[ewdurbin]

Typing :: Typed has been added on pypi.org and test.pypi.org

happy annotating!

[ilevkivskyi]

Great, thanks!
