The live documentation for Python's static typing can be found at typing.readthedocs.io.
The documentation is built with tools which are not included in this tree but are maintained separately and are available from PyPI.
The easiest way to install these tools is to create a virtual environment and install the tools into there.
To get started on UNIX, you can create a virtual environment with the command
make venv
That will install all the tools necessary to build the documentation. Assuming
the virtual environment was created in the venv directory (the default;
configurable with the VENVDIR variable), you can run the following command to
build the HTML output files:
make html
By default, if the virtual environment is not created, the Makefile will look for instances of sphinxbuild and blurb installed on your process PATH (configurable with the SPHINXBUILD and BLURB variables).
Available make targets are:
- "clean", which removes all build files.
- "venv", which creates a virtual environment with all necessary tools installed.
- "html", which builds standalone HTML files for offline viewing.
- "text", which builds a plain text file for each source file.
