It doesn't work that way. `__instancecheck__` and `__subclasscheck__` tweaks the behaviour of superclass (i.e. the right argument) in `isinstance()` and `issubclass()`. This is how `isinstance([], typing.Iterable)` works, you can't use the same to tweak `isinstance(typing.Iterable, type)`. > Hopefully someone with more insight on this can comment my worries.

You missed the point of my previous post, the idea is to add public wrappers in typing that will hide `__origin__` (or whatever else) as an implementation detail. Using `__origin__` is OK however as a *temporary* measure, if you don't want to use `typing_inspect` in the meantime. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34568> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
