3399	Evaluate adding mypy checks to code checks	jaraco	GitHub <noreply@…>	The mypy project (and type checking more generally) promises to improve code quality and catch type errors statically. Recent versions of mypy have fairly robust support for inferring types for many functions. The Python 3 porting team would like to evaluate the viability of employing mypy checks during the code check phase to catch such errors early and perhaps elucidate issues with binary vs. text during the porting effort.	enhancement	closed	normal	Support Python 3	unknown	n/a	fixed	review-needed
