Deprecate type comment support?

I've kicked off a discussion on typing-sig, as some of you have already seen, to talk about deprecating and eventually removing type comments.

Currently, the ast module takes type_comments=True to enable parsing any type comment.

I am proposing that this argument emit deprecation warnings with Python 3.12 and 3.13. With Python 3.14 type_comments=True will be removed, and all type comments except for # type: ignore will be treated as normal comments. (# type: ignore will always parse as its own node in the parser).

There is a complication: ast.parse also accepts feature_version. 3.11 is not EOL until 2027, so if someone wanted to parse code written targeting 3.11 with a mypy running on, say 3.14, that would not work under my proposal. I believe that this is acceptable, because the user would have 2 reasonable alternatives: 1) type check their code targeting 3.11 with mypy running on 3.11 2) update to type annotations, which they will need to do eventually anyway, and would have 3 years to do so already.

I think the existing tooling such as libcst, pyupgrade, com2ann, etc make the upgrade relatively straight forward.

I'd be interested to hear what others think mypy should do in regards to removing support for type comments (or if we should at all!)

Comienza con la discusión enlazada de typing-sig y la propuesta del issue sobre ast.parse(type_comments=True) y el comportamiento de feature_version. Determina si mypy debería eliminar la compatibilidad con los comentarios de tipos y qué política de compatibilidad se espera; el trabajo estará terminado cuando haya una decisión acordada y un alcance de implementación correspondiente.
