The systemctl.py 1.5 supports type hints along Python3 typing annotations.
In order to make this completely optional, the actual typing hints do
live in a seperate file called types/systemctl3.pyi
With the help of [email protected]:ambv/retype.git these are implanted into files/docker/systemctl3.py to have an actualy 'mypy' check.
Use make type to run stubgen, retype, and mypy in one stop.
Adding type hints should only be done in systemctl3.pyi and not on the actualy systemctl3.py source code. Remember that systemctl.py and systemctl3.py are actual the same source code, so that patches to python2 can be easily applied to python3 and vice versa.
