Enable future annotations check in ruff/isort to reduce churn during python upgrades #3428
Description
What problem do you want to solve?
Python upgrades allow us to utilize new typing features, implementing them during upgrades means touching a lot of files.
Describe the solution you'd like
Some of these typing improvements are available through future annotations.
If we enable:
- Mandatory future annotation import through isort
- Future annotations type checking through ruff
Then our code will be as forwards compatible as it can be for the baseline version of python reducing the amount of changes required to take advantage of new features.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Adding steps to the instructions for bumping the baseline instead of continuously enforcing it through ruff/isort.
This is possible but it would still result in a large number of code changes during upgrade as new files / instrumentations would not have benefited from the continuous check.
