You silly! Just use these carefully curated list of 28 different tools (that I got to after years of trial and error) and you'll have a somewhat acceptable tooling and type support in Python.

Anything that can use an LSP server will give you most/all of those benefits. Your favourite editor + LSP, that's the tooling. It's very much worth it.

That list is an editor, a type checker, a package to enforce type checks at runtime, 3rd party type annotations for a popular SQL ORM, some plugins for the type checker (probably the pydantic one), a code formatter, an import sorter, and (optionally) a Github co-pilot alternative.
