Documentation
Edit: I added some more clarification.
Documentation of typing.Set is not entirely clear
The typing module's documentation currently requires two hops when the reader looks up typing.Set.
- In the docstring of
typing.Setit states "To annotate arguments it is preferred to use an abstract collection type such as AbstractSet." This is referring totyping.AbstractSet - Docstring of
typing.AbstractSetsays that it is deprecated and refers the reader tocollections.abc.Set, which has no docstring of its own (it is grouped together with the docstring ofcollections.abc.MutableSet.
I feel we can prevent these two hops i.e.typing.Set --> typing.AbstractSet --> collections.abc.Setand direct the reader to the final destination i.e.typing.Set -> collections.abc.Set.
Suggested change
typing.Setshould say something like --
"To annotate arguments it is preferred to use an abstract collection type such as
collections.abc.Set.
"To annotate everything else, the use oftyping.Setis deprecated since version 3.9:builtins.setnow supports[]. SeePEP 585andGeneric Alias Type"
- Docstring of
typing.AbstractSetis fine as it is. collections.abc.Setshould say something like --
"Use this to annotate arguments. For all other annotations, use
builtins.set, which now supported[]. SeePEP 585...
Other generic alias types like List, Tuple, FrozenSet etc. probably could use a similar change (IF others agree that this is something that needs to changed at all.)
