As a Python developer as much as I love Python, I have been shooting myself in the foot by not using Type system. Typescript devs can relates this feeling. Let me show you my Vscode setup for Python type checking.

First type <Ctrl+Shift+P> and type "Setting" and select "Preference: Open Settings(UI)

Then search for "Python" and use the following settings to level up your python game.

1. Add Import: offers to add missing imports
2. Auto Format string: Automatically adds f strings if you are using {} in your string
3. Auto Import Completions: Same as Add Import
4. Complete Function Parentheses: Automatically adds parentheses when you type a function name
5. Inlay Hints: Shows function argument names
6. Inlay Hints: shows function return type
7. Inlay Hints: Variable hints will show the type of the variable
8. Type Checking Mode: Set to "strict" so that to minimize runtime error and also familiar yourself to type system. But feel free to change the mode to basic if you feel like it is not helping you.

Feel free to add more settings to your liking.

I have attached my settings check them out. Let me know cool settings too 😜
