the next release (pyflakes 3.0.0)

[asottile]

I'm planning to make a new release in the 3 related projects (pyflakes, pycodestyle, flake8) -- mostly to get some major changes in flake8 out

this will be a major bump here due to removing of # type: ... comment parsing

[asottile]

I've run my usually regression analysis -- only a few things come up but all of them are intentional (due to # type: comments):

all done!

Remove handling of python 2.x type: comments. Use annotations instead

Could you explain the reasoning behind this? Is there something I can read that you could point me to?

[elParaguayo]

I'm also interested in this. Type comments were part of PEP484 and, as far as I'm aware, weren't specifically linked to python 2.x usage (https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#type-comments).

I'd need to go back to our codebase and check again but I think we had some scenarios where annotations didn't work and we needed to use type comments instead.

We could just use a # noqa to suppress the error but that feels a bit messy!

[asottile]

@SamuilDichev pyflakes is python 3+ only, where type comments are obsolete for type annotations -- there's plans to deprecate them everywhere eventually: https://mail.python.org/archives/list/typing-sig@python.org/thread/66JDHQ2I3U3CPUIYA43W7SPEJLLPUETG/
