yield start
start += 1
.. class:: AnyStr
``AnyStr`` is a type variable defined as
``AnyStr = TypeVar('AnyStr', str, bytes)``.
It is meant to be used for functions that may accept any kind of string
without allowing different kinds of strings to mix. For example::
def concat(a: AnyStr, b: AnyStr) -> AnyStr:
return a + b
concat(u"foo", u"bar") # Ok, output has type 'unicode'
concat(b"foo", b"bar") # Ok, output has type 'bytes'
concat(u"foo", b"bar") # Error, cannot mix unicode and bytes
.. class:: Text
``Text`` is an alias for ``str``. It is provided to supply a forward
compatible path for Python 2 code: in Python 2, ``Text`` is an alias for
``unicode``.
Use ``Text`` to indicate that a value must contain a unicode string in
a manner that is compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3::
def add_unicode_checkmark(text: Text) -> Text:
return text + u' \u2713'
.. class:: io
Wrapper namespace for I/O stream types.
