Missing import in example at dataclasses.rst #91673
Description
Activity
I'm not sure how important this is. The example already says the code isn't valid. Maybe just use "list" instead of "List".
Reacted by Jelle Zijlstra and ShantanuSure @ericvsmith, but the example in the documentation doesn't run.
Your suggestion for using list instead of list works, as long it is defined asx: list = field(default_factory=list).
However, I think the example is about forcing the datatype in the list using List from typing.This works (as example only):
from dataclasses import dataclass from typing import List @dataclass class User: x: list = field(default_factory=list) y: List[int] = field(default_factory=list)this doesn't work
from dataclasses import dataclass @dataclass class User: x: list = []
