TIL: How to type args and kwargs

Read Original

This article details the common mistake of typing *args as a tuple and **kwargs as a dict in Python. It explains that the correct approach is to type the values within these containers directly (e.g., *args: str, **kwargs: Any) for compatibility with type checkers, and credits Will McGugan for the explanation.
