would it make sense to recommend / point to what to do / use instead?
the plain "this project ded" is very dry.
where would I go instead?
what's recommended best practice now?
is the whole approach stupid/wrong?
maybe you find the time to update the README with a paragraph or two?
"googling for it" leads me to several loose ends but very little useful guidance.
I found this project because I was looking for exactly such a tool which adds type annotations to up to now unannotated python projects.
My most important question: what should I use instead?
and out of curiosity_ why was it stopped? was it a mistake? lack of time/ressource? or did you find something better?
understood.
do you have pointers on other projects or tools attempting the same? what would someone use instead of retype?
The sad thing is: once a project has added type annotations they won't need this any more...
whatever. I found this wrt alternatives: https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/8482
@froh the guys at instagram have a tool called monkeytype that may be helpful. It mostly just works for base types AFAIK but I reckon between that and mypy's stubgen, you could have a neat starting point.
