[Python] Difference between defining typing.Dict and dict? [duplicate]

I am practicing using type hints in Python 3.5. One of my colleague uses typing.Dict:

import typing


def change_bandwidths(new_bandwidths: typing.Dict,
user_id: int,
user_name: str) -> bool:
print(new_bandwidths, user_id, user_name)
return False


def my_change_bandwidths(new_bandwidths: dict,
user_id: int,
user_name: str) ->bool:
print(new_bandwidths, user_id, user_name)
return True


def main():
my_id, my_name = 23, "Tiras"
simple_dict = {"Hello": "Moon"}
change_bandwidths(simple_dict, my_id, my_name)
new_dict = {"new": "energy source"}
my_change_bandwidths(new_dict, my_id, my_name)

if __name__ == "__main__":
main()


Both of them work just fine, there doesn't appear to be a difference.

I have read the typing module documentation.

Between typing.Dict or dict which one should I use in the program?
