Description

What should we add?

There are a fair bit (complete?, no idea) of type annotations in the code.

It's not a great idea to have the annotations and not be running a type checker on them. Bad / incorrect annotations are worse that no annotations.

I have no experience with type checkers, but it seems MyPy is the most used now (though pyright is also ...).

Here's some advice on how to get started:

@ocefpaf: Do you have any experience setting this up?

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or automation entry point. Start by surveying the existing Python annotations and project configuration, then compare the MyPy and pyright guidance linked in the issue. Done means a type-checking step is selected, configured, and can evaluate the existing codebase consistently.
