Add comprehensive type annotations and mypy configuration with Python 3.10+ support
This PR implements comprehensive type annotations throughout the financeager codebase to improve code safety and developer experience. The implementation follows modern Python typing best practices and includes full mypy integration with proper CI/CD configuration.
Key Changes
Type Annotations
-
Complete coverage: Added type annotations to all 12 Python files in the
financeager/directory -
Modern syntax: Used Python 3.10+ features (
str | Noneinstead ofOptional[str],list[str]instead ofList[str]) - Clean mypy configuration: No library ignores needed - all dependencies (argcomplete, marshmallow, tinydb, dateutil) provide proper type stubs
Python Version Requirements
-
Dropped Python 3.9 support: Updated to require Python 3.10+ (
requires-python = ">=3.10") - CI/CD updates: Removed Python 3.9 from GitHub Actions test matrix
- Removed compatibility code: Eliminated Python 3.9 workarounds (e.g., EntryPoints.get() fallback)
MyPy Configuration
-
Clean setup: Configured mypy with gradual adoption approach in
pyproject.toml - No ignores required: All external dependencies have proper type information
- Strict checks: Enabled key safety features while allowing incremental improvement
CI/CD Integration
- Pre-commit hooks: Added mypy to the pre-commit configuration with proper file handling
- GitHub Actions: Integrated type checking through pre-commit hooks in CI workflow
- Developer workflow: Type checking runs automatically before commits and in CI
Documentation
- Migration guide: Added comprehensive typing migration section to README explaining progressive typing adoption
Technical Details
The implementation maintains 100% backward compatibility for Python 3.10+ while adding type safety. All pre-commit hooks (black, flake8, isort, mypy) pass successfully, and the mypy configuration requires no external library ignores since all dependencies provide proper type stubs.
Fixes #254.

Also remove Python 3.9 from workflow in ci.yml
Removed Python 3.9 from the CI workflow matrix and project classifiers. Also removed the Python 3.9 compatibility code from cli.py since it's no longer needed, and added requires-python = ">=3.10" to properly declare the minimum version requirement. (300d76d)
