Thanks!

There are a lot of other occurrences of Union[int, float], so it would be great if you could also take care of those - simply use vs code or pycharm search all files functionality.

I think these are the only occurrences of Union[float, int] and Union[int, float]. Furthermore, I recall the flake8 test failing during pre-commit due to the import statements, so I removed them. More codes were similar to Union[float, int] but had more datatypes inside, not just float and int.

I think these are the only occurrences of Union[float, int] and Union[int, float].

Yes, I think you got all of them, thanks!
