Changelog

v2.0.0 (2025-04-21)

• Changed the default for standard_collection_syntax from "as_given" to "standard_class". This change is intended to encourage the use of the standard collection syntax, since all currently supported Python versions support it and the typing module aliases are deprecated.
• Removed support for Python 3.8.
• Added support for Python 3.13.
• Removed deprecated LITERAL_TYPE_SUPPORTED flag. (Deprecated in v1.1.0.)

Note: the typenames repository has moved to the drivendataorg GitHub organization. The documentation website has also moved to a new address.

v1.3.0 (2024-07-16)

• Changed how typenames handles type annotations that include typing.Annotated or typing_extensions.Annotated. (PR #8, Issue #7)
  • Added include_extras configuration option to typenames to control whether Annotated and metadata should be shown.
  • By default, include_extras is False, and Annotated and extra metadata will not be rendered.

v1.2.0 (2024-03-19)

• Fixed the type signatures of typenames and parse_type_tree to reflect the typing of input type annotations, according to static type checkers. (PR #6)
• Added PEP 561 py.typed marker file to indicate that the package supports type checking. (PR #6)

v1.1.0 (2024-03-08)

• Changed REMOVE_ALL_MODULES's regex pattern to also remove <locals> from rendered output. <locals> typically appears in a type's qualified name if the type was defined within the local scope of a function or class method. (PR #4)
• Removed support for Python 3.7. (PR #5)
• Deprecated LITERAL_TYPE_SUPPORTED flag, since typenames no longer supports Python versions where this is false. (PR #5)

v1.0.0 (2023-02-20)
