   is it possible to (in vs code, if that matters) make python warn you if you forget to return the specified type? returning None breaks stuff. i've made it throw an exception but i feel like there is a more elegant solution

     @tauon@possum.city yeah absolutely
     
     install the Pylint and Pylance extensions (one of them does the type checks and one of them does linting, i forgot which does which)

     @tauon@possum.city python doesn't have static type checking built-in, that's the job of external programs like the aforementioned
     
     if you just use static types without a type checker, they have zero use since Python itself will not check them (it just completely ignores all type declarations at runtime, like with TypeScript)
