type hints?

[scarf005]

having a type hint would help a lot for developing. afaik pyvips supports both 2 and 3, so it could use additional .pyi stub file.

Hi @scarf005,

Good idea, I've been meaning to do this.

Perhaps we should drop python2 support at the same time? We're on pyvips 2.x at the moment, so this might be a good time to jump to pyvips 3.x.

It seems like the library already has types defined in docs/*.rst, how are those being generated? Could type stubs be generated the same way?

The docs are made by this:

https://github.com/libvips/pyvips/blob/master/pyvips/voperation.py#L408

Someone just needs to hack that about a bit.
