I am not sure why mypy thinks this

should be flagged. The intent is for "queries" to be
a list
of dicts
with keys of str
and values of
str OR
list of anything OR
dict with
keys of str
and values of anything
I'd have thunk list[dict[str,str]] matches that ?
Dict[str, str] means the key type and value type should both be strings,
Indeed, I know that much, list[dict[str, str]] is what is getting
passed in in this particular invocation of run_rw_queries().
For what it's worth here's the signature of that function:
def run_rw_queries (
link_obj:_TLnkObj=None,
queries:list[dict[str, str | list | dict[str, Any]]]=None,
end_tx:bool=False,
return_data:bool=None,
get_col_idx:bool=False,
verbose:bool=False
) -> tuple[list[dbapi.extras.DictRow], dict[str, int] | None]:
Given that I would have thought that passing in
list[dict[str, str]] for "queries" ought to be type safe.
Mypy indicates otherwise which I am not grokking as to why.
but in your
retelling above you indicate lots of possible value types... actually the mypy
guess
seems to be a pretty good recreation of your psuedo-code description.
I agree that mypy's grasp of my intent from
queries:list[dict[str, str | list | dict[str, Any]]]=None,
into
"List[Dict[str, Union[str, List[Any], Dict[str, Any]]]]"
seems accurate. I just don't understand why list[dict[str,
str]] should not pass that construct.
Sorry for the late reaction and may be I am missing something, but I was
wondering if
your type hint for queries shouldn't be the following.
queries:list[dict[str,str]|dict[str,list]|dict[str,dict[str, dict[str, Ant]]]
My impression at this moment is that you are write something like: dict[str,
str | int] as
as shorthand for dict[str, str] | dict[str, int]. But those two are different
types.
