-----------------------------------
Assignee: (was: Udi Meiri)
> Python typehints: support forward references
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-8487
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-8487
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: sdk-py-core
> Reporter: Udi Meiri
> Priority: P2
> Labels: stale-assigned
> Time Spent: 2h 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Typehints may be given as string literals:
> https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#forward-references
> These are currently not evaluated and result in errors.
> Example 1:
> {code}
> def test_typed_callable_string_hints(self):
> def do_fn(element: 'int') -> 'typehints.List[str]':
> return [[str(element)] * 2]
> result = [1, 2] | beam.ParDo(do_fn)
> self.assertEqual([['1', '1'], ['2', '2']], sorted(result))
> {code}
> This results in:
> {code}
> > return issubclass(sub, base)
> E TypeError: issubclass() arg 2 must be a class or tuple of classes
> typehints.py:1168: TypeError
> {code}
> Example 2:
> {code}
> def test_typed_dofn_string_hints(self):
> class MyDoFn(beam.DoFn):
> def process(self, element: 'int') -> 'typehints.List[str]':
> return [[str(element)] * 2]
> result = [1, 2] | beam.ParDo(MyDoFn())
> self.assertEqual([['1', '1'], ['2', '2']], sorted(result))
> {code}
> This results in:
> {code}
> > raise ValueError('%s is not iterable' % type_hint)
> E ValueError: typehints.List[str] is not iterable
> typehints.py:1194: ValueError
> {code}
> where the non-iterable entity the error refers to is a string literal
> ("typehints.List[str]").
