Well not if you want high quality Python code. Pylint and Pyright won't understand it, and those are absolutely critical to writing Python code that works reliably.

Curious how much reliable Python code was written before those tools existed.

For that matter, curious how much was written before the `types` and `typing` standard library modules appeared.
