Google mypy for an introduction. Pycharm has good support for it if you want IDE integration.

The stdlib is globally well annoted now. However, most 3rd party libs are not.

mixing untyped libraries with typed basically makes the whole monolith behave as if it was untyped. Once they get the major libraries typed, python projects will become much more robust.

It's not an all or nothing proposition. Gradual improvement is a thing.
