Request for type hints support in replicate-python

[ferdousbhai]

I would like to request type hints support for the library. 🙏🏽

Hi @ferdousbhai. The Python library has type hints, for example:

replicate-python/replicate/prediction.py

Lines 73 to 81 in 52979a6

	def create( # type: ignore
	self,
	version: Version,
	input: Dict[str, Any],
	webhook: Optional[str] = None,
	webhook_completed: Optional[str] = None,
	webhook_events_filter: Optional[List[str]] = None,
	**kwargs,
	) -> Prediction:

We run mypy and ruff in CI to verify that type annotations are correct and cover the whole codebase (excluding tests).

Does that cover what you're asking for? Or did you have something else in mind?

Mypy needs an extra py.typed marker so that it can quickly check if the the package is ready for type checking. (See PEP 561).

If you want to have this already available before this is added to the package, then this can also be done manually by adding this file to the replicate folder in your site-packages.

@WAKayser Thanks, TIL. I just opened a PR for this here: #127
