What are the limitations of the Python typing module?

The Python typing module provides type hints, but it has limitations like runtime checks not being enforced and limited support for some complex types.

Can you give examples of complex types that are hard to type?

Sure! Some complex types like nested generics or union types can be challenging to type correctly.

How does it affect code readability?

While type hints can improve readability, excessive or unclear type annotations can make the code harder to understand.

Are there any alternatives to the typing module?

Yes, alternatives include using third-party libraries like mypy for static type checking or Pydantic for data validation.
