# eval_type_backport
[](https://github.com/alexmojaki/eval_type_backport/actions) [](https://coveralls.io/github/alexmojaki/eval_type_backport) [](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/eval_type_backport) [](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/eval-type-backport)
This is a tiny package providing a replacement for `typing._eval_type` to support newer typing features in older Python versions.
Yes, that's very specific, and yes, `typing._eval_type` is a protected function that you shouldn't normally be using. Really this package is specifically made for https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/7873.
Specifically, this transforms `X | Y` into `typing.Union[X, Y]`
and `list[X]` into `typing.List[X]` etc. (for all the types made generic in PEP 585)
if the original syntax is not supported in the current Python version.
## Install
From PyPI:
```shell
pip install eval-type-backport
```
or with Conda:
```shell
conda install -c conda-forge eval-type-backport
```
