Changelog

v2.2.0 (Unreleased)

  • Added support for Python 3.15.
  • Added explicit handling of PEP 695 type aliases (type X = ..., typing.TypeAliasType). Rendering was already correct by accident but is now deliberate and tested. (PR #24, Issue #19)
  • Added is_type_alias_type predicate function. (PR #24, Issue #19)
  • Fixed incorrect __version__ value. (PR #20, Issue #18)
  • Fixed missing config propagation for the parameters of a Callable. (PR #23 thanks to @nightcityblade, Issue #21)

v2.1.0 (2025-09-15)

  • Added support for Python 3.14.
  • Fixed bug where forward references would have typing or annotationlib spuriously prepended as a module in certain cases.

v2.0.0 (2025-04-21)

  • Changed the default for standard_collection_syntax from "as_given" to "standard_class". This change is intended to encourage the use of the standard collection syntax, since all currently supported Python versions support it and the typing module aliases are deprecated.
  • Removed support for Python 3.8.
  • Added support for Python 3.13.
  • Removed deprecated LITERAL_TYPE_SUPPORTED flag. (Deprecated in v1.1.0.)

Note: the typenames repository has moved to the drivendataorg GitHub organization. The documentation website has also moved to a new address.

v1.3.0 (2024-07-16)

  • Changed how typenames handles type annotations that include typing.Annotated or typing_extensions.Annotated. (PR #8, Issue #7)
    • Added include_extras configuration option to typenames to control whether Annotated and metadata should be shown.
    • By default, include_extras is False, and Annotated and extra metadata will not be rendered.

v1.2.0 (2024-03-19)

  • Fixed the type signatures of typenames and parse_type_tree to reflect the typing of input type annotations, according to static type checkers. (PR #6)
  • Added PEP 561 py.typed marker file to indicate that the package supports type checking. (PR #6)

v1.1.0 (2024-03-08)

  • Changed REMOVE_ALL_MODULES's regex pattern to also remove <locals> from rendered output. <locals> typically appears in a type's qualified name if the type was defined within the local scope of a function or class method. (PR #4)
  • Removed support for Python 3.7. (PR #5)
  • Deprecated LITERAL_TYPE_SUPPORTED flag, since typenames no longer supports Python versions where this is false. (PR #5)

v1.0.0 (2023-02-20)
