Welcome to this annual survey to better understand how Python developers use the type system, type checkers, and integrated development environments (IDEs). The goal of this survey is to gain insights into the tools and practices you use (if any!), the challenges you face, and how you stay updated on new features. Your responses will help the Python typing community identify common blockers, improve resources, and enhance the overall experience of using Python's type system. Even if you have never actively used type hints in your code, your thoughts are still valuable and we want to hear from you. The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you for your participation! This survey was developed with support from the Pyrefly team at Meta, the JetBrains team at Microsoft, and the typing community on discourse.python.org
