+Typing Extensions -- Backported and Experimental Type Hints for Python
+
+The ``typing`` module was added to the standard library in Python 3.5, but
+many new features have been added to the module since then.
+This means users of older Python versions who are unable to upgrade will not be
+able to take advantage of new types added to the ``typing`` module, such as
+``typing.Protocol`` or ``typing.TypedDict``.
+
+The ``typing_extensions`` module contains backports of these changes.
+Experimental types that may eventually be added to the ``typing``
+module are also included in ``typing_extensions``.
