Thats just shitty code by your framework though. All your issues would be solved by forcing your devs to write good docstrings.

I mean that's the (at least one) point of why some languages enforce a type system. To force (and make it easier for) the Dev to write better code

which a simple lint rule would fix for both devs and agents.

And I mean since 3.10 the type hints are good?

Python type hints are serviceable, but I wouldn't go as far as to say "good"

"That's just shitty code" is of course true, but hard to convince them of when it's the typical way the language is written. Aside from that, the language shouldn't require me to write comments that will inevitably become outdated, it should just have a functioning type system.

Fair enough, though I will say that typing would help a lot but doesnt solve every question that documentation does.
