Type Hint for Any: typing.Any and object
Recipes
from typing import Any
x: Any = None
x = 1 # ok
x = 'a' # ok
s: str = ''
s = a # ok
x: object = None
x = 1 # ok
x = 'a' # ok
s: str = ''
s = a # type check fails
def f(arg: Any):
arg.method() # ok
def f(arg: object):
arg.method() # type check fails
def f1() -> Any: return 1 # ok
def f2() -> object: return 1 # ok
s: str = ''
s = f1() # ok
s = f2() # type check fails
def f1(arg: Any): pass
def f2(arg: object): pass
f1(1) # ok
f1('s') # ok
f2(1) # ok
f1('s') # ok
from typing import Any
x1: list[Any] = [] # a list of any type
x2: dict[int, Any] = {} # a dictionary of {int: any type}
x3: tuple[Any, ...] # tuple of items with any type and any size
