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?

Yeah, if you initialize them to None then for the entire rest of the class you’re going to have to account for the possibility that they’re None. If it’s unavoidable that they might be None, you should type it as such.
If you type them as like
str | Nonethen later when you do likereturn foo[0]it will warn you that you can’t do that with None.foo[0] is also unsafe unless foo is known to be nonempty, ofc.
Technically correct , the best kind of correct.
foo.lower()would have been a better example.
