How to get class variables and type hints?

typing.get_type_hints is another method that doesn't involve accessing magic properties directly:

from typing import get_type_hints

class Person:
    name: str
    age: int

get_type_hints(Person)
# returns {'name': <class 'str'>, 'age': <class 'int'>}

These type hints are based on Python annotations. They are available as the __annotations__ property. This goes for classes, as well as functions.

>>> class Person:
...     name: str
...     age: int
... 
>>> Person.__annotations__
{'name': <class 'str'>, 'age': <class 'int'>}
>>> def do(something: str) -> int:
...     ...
... 
>>> do.__annotations__
{'something': <class 'str'>, 'return': <class 'int'>}
