> Since types are optional in Python, it's necessarily true that an "Any"-like type is prioritized since it's the default. Moreover, cpython doesn't check anything when it bytecode-compiles. mypy is pretty whiny about types, and sure, if you add Any everywhere then you have just defeated the type checker, but this is no different from putting interface{} everywhere for Go. > Any-by-default and no-built-in-checking feels pretty defanged to me. Is running mypy on the code base that much to ask?
