>You can install the typing module all the way back to Python 2.7, where list[int] will never work but nothing prohibits typing.List[int].

Why though? Even in 2.7, isn't the : type and -> type part just taken as annotation (that is, could just be ignored and not clash because it's a valid type)? Or was it some parser shortcoming?
