You can use typing.get_type_hints() (or __annotations__) to get the type annotations of an object.
@bbelderbos is that very different from type()? Does it provide nested types like List[Dict[str, int]] ? That would be nice…
@rhgrouls it is yes, type just says it's a function.
And yes it works with nested type hints - see image.
![>>> def func(arg: str, another_arg: int) -> dict[str, list[str]]:

<class 'function'>
>>> func.__annotations__
{'arg': <class 'str'>, 'another_arg': <class 'int'>, 'return': dict[str, list[str]]}](https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/109/415/829/772/880/680/original/ba936f9184bd6345.png ">>> def func(arg: str, another_arg: int) -> dict[str, list[str]]:

@bbelderbos and once you have, typing.get_args() to get the arguments to types like Union.
