Besides the obvious flaws... is that parameter a list named list, shadowing the list() constructor?

[-] infinitepcg@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It works as long as you don't call list() within that function.

That is a type hint

Well duh. I wonder what happens if you shadow the list constructor and try to use it as a type hint...

def foo(list: list):
  def bar(thingies: list):
    pass
