Missing py.typed declaration?

See original GitHub issue

mypy is complaining about not being able to find type annotations for httpx:

error: Cannot find module named 'httpx'

I’m somewhat new to using type annotations/static type checking in Python, but from the mypy documentation here it looks like there may be a missing declaration in setup.py?

Related: It’s a bit of a gross hack that we need a py.typed file to indicate that we’re a well typed package. I don’t really dig it.

Is there anything productive that we could do to push for a nicer alternative to become adopted in whichever of Python/MyPy/PyPI this is relevant too? (Eg. A top-level __typed__ = True variable in packages? A setting in PyPI package info?)
