    Besides the obvious flaws… is that parameter a list named list, shadowing the list() constructor?

      It works as long as you don’t call list() within that function.

        Well duh. I wonder what happens if you shadow the list constructor and try to use it as a type hint…

        def foo(list: list):
          def bar(thingies: list):
            pass
