typing.dataclass_transform

PEP 681 (landed in Python 3.11) introduced typing.dataclass_transform decorator. It can be used to mark a class that behaves like a dataclass. The type checker will assume that it has __init__ that accepts annotated attributes as arguments, __eq__, __ne__, and __str__. For example, it can be used to annotate SQLAlchemy or Django models, attrs classes, pydantic validators, and so on. It's useful not only for libraries that don't provide a mypy plugin but also if you use a non-mypy type checker. For instance, pyright, which is used by vscode Python plugin to show types, highlight syntax, provide autocomplete, and so on.
