For that, use the standard Python `typing.List` (or just `list` in Python 3.9 and above):

{* ../../docs_src/extra_models/tutorial004_py39.py hl[18] *}


## Response with arbitrary `dict` { #response-with-arbitrary-dict }

You can also declare a response using a plain arbitrary `dict`, declaring just the type of the keys and values, without using a Pydantic model.

### Faite en python moderne

Tout est basé sur la déclaration de type standard de **Python 3.8** (grâce à Pydantic). Pas de nouvelles syntaxes à apprendre. Juste du Python standard et moderne.

///

/// note | Technical Details

You could also use `from starlette.testclient import TestClient`.

**FastAPI** provides the same `starlette.testclient` as `fastapi.testclient` just as a convenience for you, the developer. But it comes directly from Starlette.

///

/// tip

Each "scope" is just a string (without spaces).

They are normally used to declare specific security permissions, for example:

* `users:read` or `users:write` are common examples.
* `instagram_basic` is used by Facebook / Instagram.
* `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive` is used by Google.

/// info

In OAuth2 a "scope" is just a string that declares a specific permission required.

### Just Modern Python { #just-modern-python }

It's all based on standard **Python type** declarations (thanks to Pydantic). No new syntax to learn. Just standard modern Python.

```Python hl_lines="2"
@app.get('/')
def results():
    results = some_library()
    return results
```

If your application (somehow) doesn't have to communicate with anything else and wait for it to respond, use `async def`, even if you don't need to use `await` inside.

---

If you just don't know, use normal `def`.

     * @param userProperties The mutable user properties, never {@code null}.

    default void contribute(Map<String, String> userProperties) {}

## Why is MinIO cloud-native?

But this way we can focus on how the **Dependency Injection** system works.

### Create a dependency, or "dependable" { #create-a-dependency-or-dependable }

Let's first focus on the dependency.

It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

That doesn't add any extra security to your API, the *path operations* will still be available where they are.

If there's a security flaw in your code, it will still exist.
