Introduce proper type hints for usages of numpy arrays
Created by: gkirgizov
Current type hints are using np.array
which is... actually not a even class, but a convenience function for creation of np.ndarray
.
But instead of just substituting usages of np.array
, it's better to use types from numpy.typing
module, which was introduced in Numpy 1.20. (https://numpy.org/devdocs/reference/typing.html#module-numpy.typing). Besides parameterized NDArray[DType]
it also introduced ArrayLike
and DTypeLike
types that can enhance readability of method signatures.
