Python dataclass with list

Question

So just learnng Python 3.7 and I want to create a simple dataclass with two data members, an int and a list somethng like :

class myobject:
      data1:int
      data2:List[]

object1=myobject(1, 1)
myobject.data2.append(5)
etc...

I tried quite a few things but apparently the List is seen as an integer only not a list and I don't know what to do, can somebody helping me please?

cheers

As noted in comments, the type hints are not enforced by Python. If you pass an int where you specified a list, you will get an int.

You are also creating an object of the myobject class, but then not using it. I think you want something like:

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class myobject:
    data1: int
    data2: list

object1 = myobject(1, [1])
object1.data2.append(5)
