get_annotations

✓ from get_annotations import get_annotations

✗ import get_annotations

Wrong: import get_annotations gives you the module, not the function. Right: from get_annotations import get_annotations

Replaces inspect.get_annotations() with a backport for older Python versions.

from get_annotations import get_annotations def func(a: int, b: str) -> bool: ... ann = get_annotations(func) print(ann) # prints {'a': int, 'b': str, 'return': bool}

Debug

Known issues

breakingThe library shadows the standard library's inspect.get_annotations on Python 3.10+; ensure you import from 'get_annotations' only when targeting Python <3.10.

fix

Use 'from get_annotations import get_annotations' only if sys.version_info < (3,10); otherwise use 'inspect.get_annotations'.

affects: >=3.10

gotchaCalling get_annotations on a built-in function (e.g., len) may raise TypeError or return None if annotations are not supported.

fix

Wrap call in try/except TypeError or check if object supports annotations via hasattr() before calling.

affects: all

gotchaThe function does not evaluate string annotations (PEP 563). If you rely on forward references, they remain as strings.

fix

Use typing.get_type_hints() if you need resolved annotations.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

AttributeError: module 'get_annotations' has no attribute 'get_annotations'

Imported the module itself, not the function.

fix

Use 'from get_annotations import get_annotations'

TypeError: get_annotations() missing 1 required positional argument: 'obj'

Called get_annotations without any argument, or forgot the object.

fix

Call get_annotations(some_function_or_class)
