Want to contribute to project

[theodoretliu]

Hi, I'm a student working on a thesis right now, and my proposal is to add dependent typing to Python and numpy in particular. I don't know if this is the right place to post or ask about this, but I want to ultimately contribute directly to numpy, python, and mypy and this seemed like an appropriate place. Specifically, I want to extend this project and be able to reject statically

x = np.zeros((1, 2))
x @ x

and accept

x @ x.T

Would this be the right place to discuss syntax, necessary work, and other things required to make this a reality?

Hi, it'd be great to have someone work on this effort! There is some discussion here: python/typing#513

Also at the last typing summit there was discussion of type system features for pytorch. I think bringing this up on typing-sig@python.org is probably the best place to introduce yourself to the relevant people.

Thank you for the information! I'll also respond on the thread you linked and shoot an email to the mailing list.
