The real issue here is that this is not documented in Doc/library/typing.rst.

[DimitrisJim]

I'm guessing you might of missed it, Text is documented in the docs for Python 3.5 https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/typing.html#typing.Text :-)

[cblegare]

I mean, what is not documented is 'New in 3.5.2'

[DimitrisJim]

Ah I see now, yes, neither are Reversible, Type, NewType, TYPE_CHECKING and DefaultDict.

Why don't you go ahead an submit a PR for this? :-)

[cblegare]

Thank you for confirming this. I'll look into it

[DimitrisJim]

That's great, make sure you also take a look at the quick start section of the devguide 1 if you need help in any steps :-)
