Proper Google docstring for lists

Question

I've been using the Google Docstring format described here but I'm wondering if there is an agreed upon method for documenting lists of a known type.

I've been using

def function(a_list)
    """

    Args:
        a_list (list[dict]): a list of dictionaries
    """
    ...

Is this correct?

Answer 1

Given the advances in type hinting that didn't exist when I first asked this question I would now defer to that style:

from typing import List

def function(a_list: List[dict])
    """

    Args:
        a_list (List[dict]): a list of dictionaries
    """
    ...
