Version policy

FAQ

Which Python versions does ty support?

ty officially supports type checking code that targets Python 3.10 and later. Earlier versions (Python 3.7 through 3.9) can still be selected, but may result in false negatives or false positives due to a lack of bundled standard library stubs.

The target version is independent of the Python version used to install ty. For example, ty installed from PyPI using Python 3.8 or later can type check code targeting Python 3.7; the standalone installer does not require Python at all.

Why is ty doing _____?

See our typing FAQ.

How do you pronounce ty?

It's pronounced as "tee - why" (/tiː waɪ/)

How should I stylize ty?

Just "ty", please.
