Updates to Meet Strict Pylance Type Checking Mode #4
Description
Pylance offers a variety of type checking modes to choose from. Originally the project was created with and only met the standard of the basic mode, the lowest requirements without turning the Pylance type checking completely off. Updates to PyAres have brought the project up to meeting the "Standard Mode" requirements, which is much stronger and should help prevent type problems in the future.
A conversation is worth being had around upgrading PyAres to work within the guidelines of "Strict" mode. There are two things this does that will probably require a relatively significant effort to manage:
- Type annotations would be required, not optional as they currently are
- The "Any" type will no longer be allowed within the project
First a consensus should be made as to whether it is worth the effort to get PyAres to this point, and if so how do we get there.
