Lately I’ve been writing a lot of code as follows:

def some_function() -> dict:
    output: dict = {
        "success": False
    }
    r: requests.Response = requests.get(
        # url, headers, params
    )
    if r.ok:
        output["success"] = True
        output["api_response"] = r.json()
    return output

I find it useful but it seems to me that I’m borrowing from Golang instead of writing pythonic code. What is the correct way of doing something like this?
