math.fabs returns float.
The documentation should say so, and help(math.fabs) should include the expected return type -> float
fabs(x, /) -> float
Return the absolute value of the float x.
I did not check, but expect these annotations recommendations are pervasive throughout the python libraries.

Thanks for the suggestion but we've not adopted type annotations in the documentation. |

Hi Ray, I'm glad this was a conscious choice. I found a person confused by the output of print(abs(3), math.fabs(3)) Perhaps the manual would mention return values->that's not an annotation.
