Description
Documentation
The page at https://docs.python.org/3/library/__future__.html has a problem:
"__future__.annotations | Never: PEP 563: Postponed evaluation of annotations, PEP 649: Deferred evaluation of annotations using descriptors"
This is incorrect though innit?
Isn't it "mandatory" in 3.14 - https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#annotations?
EDIT: Re-reading both the pages I think I was mistaken - but the page should still link to https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#annotations I suppose.
