https://lwn.net/Articles/690150/ mentioned a few other tools that consume type hints, like pytype and pycharm. Any updates on those?

A Python static typing update

This library that I wrote makes use of annotations as well: https://github.com/ltworf/typedload

I basically use it to load json into NamedTuple, but it's quite flexible I think.

One problem is that the API of the typing module has been changing even over minor versions, so basically that library ended up having quite a lot of code that does if hasattr() or similar.

If they don't settle on an API, making use of annotations is extremely difficult.
