+"""For neatly implementing static typing in packaging.
+
+`mypy` - the static type analysis tool we use - uses the `typing` module, which
+provides core functionality fundamental to mypy's functioning.
+
+Generally, `typing` would be imported at runtime and used in that fashion -
+it acts as a no-op at runtime and does not have any run-time overhead by
+design.
+
+As it turns out, `typing` is not vendorable - it uses separate sources for
+Python 2/Python 3. Thus, this codebase can not expect it to be present.
+To work around this, mypy allows the typing import to be behind a False-y
+optional to prevent it from running at runtime and type-comments can be used
+to remove the need for the types to be accessible directly during runtime.
+
+This module provides the False-y guard in a nicely named fashion so that a
+curious maintainer can reach here to read this.
+
+In packaging, all static-typing related imports should be guarded as follows:
+
+    from packaging._typing import TYPE_CHECKING
+
+    if TYPE_CHECKING:
+        from typing import ...
+
+Ref: https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/3216

+
+__all__ = ["TYPE_CHECKING", "cast"]
+
+# The TYPE_CHECKING constant defined by the typing module is False at runtime
+# but True while type checking.
+if False:  # pragma: no cover
+    from typing import TYPE_CHECKING
+else:
+    TYPE_CHECKING = False
+
+# typing's cast syntax requires calling typing.cast at runtime, but we don't
+# want to import typing at runtime. Here, we inform the type checkers that
+# we're importing `typing.cast` as `cast` and re-implement typing.cast's
+# runtime behavior in a block that is ignored by type checkers.
+if TYPE_CHECKING:  # pragma: no cover
+    # not executed at runtime
+    from typing import cast
+else:
+    # executed at runtime
+    def cast(type_, value):  # noqa
+        return value
