Guido van Rossum <gu...@python.org> added the comment:
I wonder if part of the problem here isn't that protocols are primarily focused on instances, where the __init__ method is explicitly *not* considered part of the type. IIRC supporting protocols for classes was an afterthought. That said you have made a good case for seeing it as part of the protocol when the Type[] operator is applied to the protocol. So yes, I think we should be careful ruling that out too soon. Do we have any evidence that users are confused and define __init__ methods on protocols that are being ignored by their type checkers? The OP didn't say. When in doubt, let the status quo win. ---------- nosy: +gvanrossum _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44807> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
