New submission from Ismo Toijala <ismo.toij...@gmail.com>:
The other collections from the collections module (namedtuple, deque, ChainMap,
Counter, defaultdict) have generic versions in the typing module for use in
type annotations.
The problem is currently the following:
from __future__ import annotations
import typing
from collections import OrderedDict
# Understood by mypy
def f(d: OrderedDict[str, str]) -> None:
pass
typing.get_type_hints(f)
gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "foo.py", line 9, in <module>
typing.get_type_hints(f)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/typing.py", line 1001, in get_type_hints
value = _eval_type(value, globalns, localns)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/typing.py", line 260, in _eval_type
return t._evaluate(globalns, localns)
File "/usr/lib/python3.7/typing.py", line 464, in _evaluate
eval(self.__forward_code__, globalns, localns),
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'type' object is not subscriptable
To fix this, a line like the following could be added to Lib/typing.py near
line 1250:
OrderedDict = _alias(collections.OrderedDict, (KT, VT))
There might be a reasoning for why this has not been done yet, but I have not
been able to find any.
If this is acceptable, I could prepare a PR.
I suppose there is no hope of a backport to 3.7, since this is a new feature
(though very minor).
