I'm creating a release blocker placeholder issue for PEP 484. I think we're going to miss alpha 4 but I am expecting to make beta 1 (and Mark Shannon, the BDFL-Delegate has promised to work within this schedule). Of course it's possible that Mark ends up rejecting the PEP, but I'm betting that we'll be able to hammer out a compromise, so I'm creating this bug to remind myself and other devs of this deadline.

Also, the only thing to be included is typing.py (and its tests and hopefully some docs, even if the first rev of the docs just points to the PEP).

I am going to commit this (or something very close to it) unless I hear an explicit rejection notice from Mark Shannon. Off-list he's promised he'll approve the PEP provisionally, and the window for beta 1 is closing. It's better to iterate than to miss the window entirely.

New patch.

This was committed (rev 3e96d7ca3f51). I'm keeping this open because there is more to do (see https://github.com/ambv/typehinting/labels/bug).

I've opened a separate bug (http://bugs.python.org/issue24272) for docs.

I'm bumping this up since the CPython repo is several changes behind the typehinting repo (https://github.com/ambv/typehinting/tree/master/prototyping). Those should not miss RC1.

Can we mark this closed now?

There's more, but you can reduce the priority now.
