return types, confused

kevindawson

from docs

all() → List[tinydb.table.Document] 
    Get all documents stored in the table.

but when I look at the source

def all(self) -> List[Document]:

and

class Document(dict):

should the return type for all() be a type from typing

ie:

all() → List[Dict]

as I said in title confused

Hey kevindawson, the return type is a MyPy type annotation that says that all() will return a list of documents. So List just tells that we're returning a list object which is what the docs show.
