New submission from Gregory Beauregard <[email protected]>:
typing.TypeAlias is allowed to be bare, but it's not listed in the list of
types in typing._type_check that are allowed to be bare. This means it's
possible to reach the wrong error `TypeError: Plain typing.TypeAlias is not
valid as type argument` at runtime.
Examples offhand:
from typing import TypeAlias, get_type_hints
class A:
a: "TypeAlias" = int
get_type_hints(A)
from typing import Annotated, TypeAlias
b: Annotated[TypeAlias, ""] = int
There's likely more and/or more realistic ways to trigger the problem. Anything
that triggers typing._type_check on typing.TypeAlias will give this error
(TypeError: Plain typing.TypeAlias is not valid as type argument).
I will fix this by adding TypeAlias to the list of typing special forms allowed
to be bare/plain. I intend to move these to their own named var to reduce the
chance of types not getting added in the future.
