The 2025 Python Type System and Tooling Survey is out! Take the survey here: [Python Type System and Tooling Survey 2025](https://forms.gle/Td2H3QJW7u4sZjQ87) I also want to say a huge thank-you to the folks who commented on our earlier post with feedback on the draft survey! Stay tuned for another post with the survey results in a few weeks! _This survey was developed with support from the Pyrefly team at Meta, the PyCharm team at JetBrains, and the typing community on [discourse.python.org](http://discourse.python.org)_ ---

Could you write about who is creating / managing the survey, whether this is an official survey from the PSF / cpython / Typing Council, etc? After clicking through to the survey, it has a much clearer intro that would be appropriate to edit into your post. ---

It is mentioned pretty clearly in the first section on the survey itself, but yes I can update the post too ---

> Emacs (with a language server protocol) Nit: Perhaps you meant to say “with a language server”? There’s only one Language Server Protocol, but multiple _language servers_ and _language clients_. ---

While filling this out, I realized that it’s really hard to answer the question about what typing needs the most in terms of new features. I didn’t realize this while looking over the proposed questions, but filling it in, I found I was choosing pretty much at random from a bunch of orthogonal missing capabilities. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had been asked to rank several well known ideas, and separately for a key feature not listed. Of course, I say that imagining that the list would contain exactly the features _I_ consider important, so take this meta-feedback with a grain of salt. ---

Thanks all who filled out the survey! We have now closed the survey for responses and are working on reviewing the data, so keep a look out for another post on that in the near future. In the meantime we’d like to share some preliminary results, overall looking pretty similar to last year: ![Forms response chart.
