It is disappointing that #python TypedDict doesn't support setting default values.

from typing import TypedDict

class Con(TypedDict):  
 host: str  
 port: int = 9090

data = {"host": "test.com"}  
connection = Con(**data)  

I expected it to give me "port": 9090 by default but it does not!

Looks like building the dict as instance of Con doesn't make any difference than just building a {} and that is very confusing.
