As the type, put the `List` that you imported from `typing`.

As the list is a type that contains some internal types, you put them in square brackets:

```Python hl_lines="4"
{!> ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial006.py!}
```

////

/// info

Those internal types in the square brackets are called "type parameters".

In this case, `str` is the type parameter passed to `List` (or `list` in Python 3.9 and above).

        String actualString = response.toString();
        assertTrue(actualString.startsWith("Trans2SetFileInformationResponse["),
                "The string representation should start with the class name.");
        assertTrue(actualString.endsWith("]"), "The string representation should end with a bracket.");
    }

* If you are in a Python version lower than 3.9, import their equivalent version from the `typing` module
* Pass the internal type(s) as "type parameters" using square brackets: `[` and `]`

In Python 3.9 it would be:

```Python
my_list: list[str]
```

In versions of Python before 3.9, it would be:

```Python
from typing import List

my_list: List[str]
```
