If you need to access private variables, just make a pull request that adds what you need. We're not going to add them all just for the sake of completeness.

@Akuli So if I create a PR to provide the above, will it be merged?

[JelleZijlstra]

Our general policy is to add private objects if someone asks for them. However, that's meant to happen when you're actually using them, not just to fill out the stub.

Now, I try to provide type hints for agronholm/typeguard.

typeguard uses threading._profile_hook in src/typeguard/__init__.py. But it raises an attr-defined error when mypy --strict due to lacking type information.

Alright, let's add only _profile_hook then :)
