New submission from Kai Wohlfahrt:
A specialized sub-class of a generic type never calls __init__ when it is
instantiated. See below for an example:
from typing import Generic, TypeVar
T = TypeVar('T')
class Foo(Generic[T]):
def __init__(self, value: T):
self.value = value
Bar = Foo[str]
foo = Foo('foo')
bar = Bar('bar')
print(type(foo), end=' ')
print(foo.value)
print(type(bar), end=' ')
print(bar.value) # AttributeError
I would expect Foo[str], Foo[int], etc to be equivalent to Foo at run-time. If
this is not the case it might deserve an explicit mention in the docs. At the
moment, behaviour is confusing because an instance of Foo is returned that does
not have any of its attributes set.
