How do I return type hinting defined types

Question

If I have the following:

def alert(self, text: str, color: str) -> str:

Can I get somehow the specified type of my arguments?

I tried using func.__code__.co_varnames & inspect.getargspec(func) without good results.

Answer 1

blue_note's answer won't work with __future__.annotations, introduced in python 3.7, use typing.get_type_hints instead.

Answer 2

The alert.__annotations__ has a dict with the types.

The key return describes the return value. All other keys are the names of the arguments.
