Ticket details:
Part of #43927. Add PEP 484-style type annotations for use with IDEs and static type checkers.
Problem: Python 3.4 has no special support for type annotations, beyond allowing function argument and return type annotations. In particular, the typing module is only introduced in Python 3.5, and variable annotations only in Python 3.6.
Potential solutions:
Leave out any annotations that would require typing
In particular, this means no union types and no generic functions (which some helper functions could be)
Add workaround code to use typing only when available, while maintaining 3.4 compatibility
This might add a certain amount of noise to the script
Increase the minimum supported Python version to 3.5 or even 3.6
