Sometimes I feel like we need an analog to javascript/typescript. Ptypethon if you will.

Absolutely. The main problem with python typing is that checking types is optional. A dialect with mandatory types (with inference) and runtime/load-time checking would be great.

Use pyright in strict mode, then. If you really want runtime checking, you can Pydantic's validation decorator, typeguard or beartype. Current typed python is much better than people give it credit. You just have to use it properly.

Checking types is optional with Typescript too. We don't need another type annotation syntax for Python. The existing one is fine.
