You can get 11help either in our [support forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) or 12chat with us on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/python/typing). 13 14Improvements to the type system should be discussed on the 15[typing-sig](https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/typing-sig.python.org/) 16mailing list, although the [issues](https://github.com/python/typing/issues) in this 17repository contain some historic discussions. 18 19Repository Content 20------------------ 21 22This GitHub repository is used for several things: 23 24- The `typing_extensions` module lives in the 25 [typing\_extensions](./typing_extensions) directory. 26 27- The documentation at [typing.readthedocs.io](https://typing.readthedocs.io/) 28 is maintained in the [docs directory](./docs). 29 30- A [discussion forum](https://github.com/python/typing/discussions) for typing-related user 31 help is hosted here. 32 33Historically, this repository hosted a backport of the 34[`typing` module](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html) for older 35Python versions. The last released version, supporting Python 2.7 and 3.4, 36is [available at PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/typing/). 37 38Workflow 39-------- 40 41See [CONTRIBUTING.md](/CONTRIBUTING.md) for more. 42
