The 2026 Python Type System and Tooling Survey is out! Take the survey here: [Python Type System and Tooling Survey 2026](https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/python_typing) (or scan the QR code attached at the end). I also want to say a huge thank-you to the folks who commented on our earlier post with feedback on the draft survey. The survey will be open for about a month. Stay tuned for another post with the survey results in a few weeks after closing! _This survey was developed with support from the Pyrefly team at Meta, the PyCharm team at JetBrains, the Python team at Microsoft, the ty team at Astral, and the [community contributors on this forum](https://discuss.python.org/t/looking-for-draft-feedback-python-typing-survey-2026)._ ![QR_code_python_typing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/5/0/50124c66584225fa8c32ce393c3d6c288f9c3869.png) ---

Should this be pinned to the top of the category? ---

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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/5/9/59d4a9f4dab28f974c8c2c0b8947a33dfa03867d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/1/7/17fd15bb51932e4bedd0a432f8688a72446d9545.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/a/c/acb3bff7b61bdee04e6d8139e05f14e4048d7233.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/0/7/07f23408b910dfc5c01ed64c90badb2c4d595435.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/f/4/f436326cf8c9ba961ea514df7b9f4384e8615bfe.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/python1/original/3X/c/e/ce7a784908cc2b8583b3467fff7d5b814771f108.png) - **70%** of those who **always use type hints** rely on **Python Typing docs** for help, showing strong documentation dependence among frequent users. - **40.2%** of those with **0-2 years type hint experience** reported using type hints **significantly more than a year ago** , a **29.7 percentage point gap** over the most experienced group. ---
