For example:
class FooBar:
def __init__(self):
self.a: int = None
self.foo: str = None
Is this bad practice/go against PEP guidelines or is it fine?

dataclasses required py310+ for critical features like slot support. Only now that py39 is history, is dataclasses even a thing. But then a must have feature will require an even more recent python version. So stuck waiting in a never ending loop.
Fck that!
python -m pip install attrsProblem solved.
I haven’t needed slot support in dataclasses so far. It must not be that critical. Some of my machines still have python 3.9 and dataclasses work, at least to the extent I’ve needed them to.
That’s fine. But you coulda had access to latest greatest updates. Whether you need them or not.
Python advertises itself as being mature, which means changes if any are supposed to be incremental and backwards compatible. It’s not so successful at that but I still don’t particularly try to keep up with the bleeding edge. I don’t know what slots in dataclasses even means. I do like the match statement.
LOL have never used the match statement. Has been one of those features just outta reach. So close can taste it. But alas …
Now py310 is here. Still not enthusiastic about it. But over time maybe will come around.
__slots__ = (...)or frozen. Same thing. Make the data class read-only reducing memory usage by 30-40%. Like the memory usage difference between tuple and list.From experience, in stubs,
__slots__need to include"__weakref__". If frozen, then don’t include"__weakref__".How about this. Lets meet each other half way.
I’ll stop thinking of the match statement as thorium reactor toxic waste.
And maybe you can take a read through of the frozen option for dataclasses.
Sound fair?
If I need something like slots I’ll keep them in mind. Thanks for calling my attention to them.
