mypy support

[RichardFevrier]

Hello everyone 👋

It should be great if this library could pass the mypy (--strict) static typing checker ✅

Thanks

thank you for your suggestion, we will look into this. We are trying to keep this library simple, clean, and easy to use. Will not have a dependency unless it's very neccessary.

What Richard is really requesting is for this project to have type hints so that mypy can do static type checking of this library and projects using it. Type hints are a built-in feature of Python since 3.5, so no extra dependencies needed, and considering 3.6 is the oldest still supported version of Python it's pretty safe to include type hints.

mypy is a development software just like flake8, so it won't be needed by users.

I confirm, it will be great if the mypy support was implemented.

By the way, it will be usefull with Pyright and other linters.
