New submission from Alex Grönholm: >>> from typing import Union, Iterable >>> Union[str, Iterable[int]] typing.Iterable[int]
The union loses the "str" parameter because issubclass(str, collections.abc.Iterable) returns True and the check completely disregards generics. Guido mentioned that issubclass() support for generic types should be going away. In the mean time, maybe the subclass check in typing.GenericMeta should be modified not to do it with types from Typing, but how can we accurately identify them? ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 257910 nosy: alex.gronholm, gvanrossum, lukasz.langa priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: typing.Union unifies types too broadly type: behavior versions: Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26075> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
