Description

Python 3 has a type hinting feature very useful for auto complete. This issue is for tracking efforts on researching its backward compatibility with python 2 (from __future__ import import annotations?) and if possible, change code generator to implement it. Best if we contribute it back to swagger-codegen.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the backport compatibility of type hints (PEP 484) with Python 2 using `from future import annotations`. Explore changes needed in the code generator to emit type hints while preserving Python 2 support. Consider contributing findings back to swagger codegen.
