That would be particularly useless: >>> type(float) is type True So your declaration is identical to: def speed(dist: type, time: type) -> type: Much better just to stick to something like: def speed( dist: float, time: float ) -> float: where at least you can tell from the annotations what types were actually used. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
