@mre Do you mean Python 3.5 and lower type comments like -

var=1 #int 

or Python 3.6 typing?

var: int=1

Regardless I am down to clown!

True, I meant 3.6 types. We should upgrade to that. 😅
Please go ahead if you like to work on that. Thanks!

@mre No sweat I just wantd to make sure! 😄 I'm on it. 👍

Did we want function typing too? For example...

# This is how you annotate a function definition
def stringify(num: int) -> str:
    return str(num)

Yup, that would be great. I saw that you already did that in your PR. 😄
