For example:
class FooBar:
def __init__(self):
self.a: int = None
self.foo: str = None
Is this bad practice/go against PEP guidelines or is it fine?

I’m initializing variables that would be used later in the class in different functions. I wasn’t sure if I needed to do a
var: <type> | None = Noneor if just setting it to None was fine.I’m going to say initializing them to None and updating them later is a code smell. If you can do so, make them non-optional and always initialize them to actual meaningful values.
