typing-text-str-alias (UP019)

Derived from the pyupgrade linter.

Fix is sometimes available.

What it does

Checks for uses of typing.Text.

Why is this bad?

typing.Text is an alias for str, and only exists for Python 2 compatibility. As of Python 3.11, typing.Text is deprecated. Use str instead.

Example

from typing import Text

foo: Text = "bar"

Use instead:

foo: str = "bar"
