What are some advanced features of MyPy?

MyPy offers several advanced features like type inference, type aliases, and support for generics. Would you like to know more about any specific feature?

Can you explain type inference in MyPy?

Type inference in MyPy allows the type checker to deduce the types of variables automatically, reducing the need for explicit type annotations.

What are type aliases and how do I use them?

Type aliases in MyPy let you create a new name for an existing type, making your code more readable. You can define one like this: AliasName = ExistingType.

How does MyPy handle generics?

MyPy supports generics by allowing you to define functions and classes that can operate on any type. You can use TypeVar to create a generic type.

Are there any best practices for using MyPy?

Yes, some best practices include using type annotations consistently, leveraging type aliases for clarity, and running MyPy regularly to catch type errors early.
