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?

Why not require values in the constructor?

[โ€“] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is an example. For my actual use case, they would be private vars that would be set by class functions instead of passed to the constructor.
