Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. 2. Enable experimentation with new type system PEPs before they are accepted and added to the "typing" module. . "typing_extensions" is treated specially by static type checkers such as mypy and pyright. Objects defined in "typing_extensions" are treated the same way as equivalent forms in "typing".
