Removed dict annotation from GeoAxes.gridlines

[BhavyeMathur]

Rationale

Just something that had been bothering me for a bit. The **kwargs parameter in GeoAxes.gridlines is itself a dict, but shouldn't be annotated as dict because that implies that it accepts only dictionary keyword arguments. For example, the following code is highlighted with a warning:

ax.gridlines(..., linewidth=0.15)  # syntax highlighter expects linewidth to be a dictionary

Implications

Better syntax highlighting. Warning is no longer displayed for code that is correct.

Some of the tests have failed due to 404 errors. I don't think those are related to my singular change however.

Hi @BhavyeMathur, thanks for this.

Cartopy follows the numpydoc style and according to the guide, including the dict type is correct. However, I also looked up a few examples in numpy itself, and only one of them show a type for **kwargs, which is any.

I cannot think of a scenario where stating this is a dict is useful information for the user, so if it causes a problem, let's take it out. Out of interest which editor do you use?

Although the doc build is broken, the relevant docstring renders fine.

Hi, thanks for merging the pull request.

Interesting, I wonder why NumPy recommends those hints for *args and **kwargs. Annotating it Any should work without problems too, if that's something you want to pursue. Noticed the issue while using JetBrains PyCharm and DataSpell, but looks good now.
