PyCharm typehinting

Question

I have this code:

pile = get_pile()
pile.spawn(func1)
pile.spawn(func2)
(var1, var2) = list(pile)
# :type MyClass
var1.do_something()

So, variable var1, which is returned by func1() is an instance of class MyClass. How do I tell my PyCharm that? I've tried with the upper comment and also several other approaches, but it always says that the type is unknown and autocomplete doesn't work.

Answer 1

I've had luck doing type hinting like this:

""" :type: MyClass """

Answer 2

You can find the type hints syntax in the online documentation.
