mypy type hints

Will you accept inline type hints for the peewee like

    # type: () -> None

as PR?

No, type hints are, in my opinion, an abomination that has no business being part of the Python language 😃

@coleifer I’m not a strong proponent of Static Typing, but the type annotations are extremely useful when developing to help catch bugs. I debug enough Python at runtime, the more I can do to reduce that, the better.

Mypy is optional, you can choose to put annotations on things, for clarity. If the inclusion of these things only ever produces net gain, why not apply them. It’s not an either-or camp. The degree to which you add Static Types is varying.

Surely you can see the point of view of why Type annotations may be extremely useful? And in no ways detracts from the power and flexibility of Python by its inclusion.
