When/why use types from typing module for type hints [duplicate]

Question

What is exactly the 'right' way for type hinting? My IDE (and resulting code) works fine for type hints using either of below options, but some types can be imported from the typing module. Is there a preference for using the import from the typing module over builtins (like list or dict)?

Examples:

from typing import Dict
def func_1(arg_one: Dict) -> Dict:
    pass

and

def func_2(arg_one: dict) -> dict:
    pass

Answer 1

The "right" way is to use builtins when possible (e.g. dict over typing.Dict). typing.Dict is only needed if you use Python < 3.9. In older versions you couldn't use generic annotations like dict[str, Any] with builtins, you had to use Dict[str, Any]. See PEP 585
