PEP 655: Marking individual ``TypedDict`` items as required or not-required
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
:data:`~typing.Required` and :data:`~typing.NotRequired` provide a
straightforward way to mark whether individual items in a
:data:`~typing.TypedDict` must be present. Previously this was only possible
:class:`~typing.TypedDict` must be present. Previously, this was only possible
using inheritance.
Fields are still required by default, unless the ``total=False``
parameter is set.
For example, the following specifies a dictionary with one required and
one not-required key::
All fields are still required by default,
unless the *total* parameter is set to ``False``,
in which case all fields are still not-required by default.
For example, the following specifies a :class:`!TypedDict`
with one required and one not-required key::
class Movie(TypedDict):
title: str
year: NotRequired[int]
m1: Movie = {"title": "Black Panther", "year": 2018} # ok
m2: Movie = {"title": "Star Wars"} # ok (year is not required)
m3: Movie = {"year": 2022} # error (missing required field title)
m1: Movie = {"title": "Black Panther", "year": 2018} # OK

The new :data:`~typing.Self` annotation provides a simple and intuitive
way to annotate methods that return an instance of their class. This
behaves the same as the :data:`~typing.TypeVar`-based approach specified
in :pep:`484` but is more concise and easier to follow.

The presence of ``@dataclass_transform()`` tells a static type checker that the
decorated object performs runtime "magic" that
transforms a class, giving it :func:`dataclasses.dataclass`-like behaviors.
