[New-bugs-announce] [issue39572] [typing] TypedDict's 'total' argument is undocumented

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

The docs mention __total__, but there's no mention of how to actually set that attribute, nor what it actually represents.

P.S. https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/typing.py#L16 says TypedDict "may be added soon"; I think that's outdated. ;)
