I have seen some people prefer to create a list of strings by using thing = list[str]() instead of thing: list[str] = []. I think it looks kinda weird, but maybe that’s just because I have never seen that syntax before. Does that have any downsides?
It is also possible to use this for dicts: thing = dict[str, SomeClass](). Looks equally weird to me. Is that widely used? Would you use it? Would you point it out in a code review?
How do u get this output
With the
dumpfunction:from ast import dump, parse st = parse("thing = list[str]()") print(dump(st, indent=4)) st = parse("thing: list[str] = []") print(dump(st, indent=4))Preesh
