How would we answer the same question if it was not a part of stdlib?
I am not sure it is fair to expect of Pycharm to parse / execute the
__getattr__ on modules, as more elaborate implementation could even contain
different types per some condition at the runtime or anything at all.
The code:
TYPE_CHECKING = False
if TYPE_CHECKING:
from .process import ProcessPoolExecutor
from .thread import ThreadPoolExecutor
works for type checking in PyCharm and is fast.
This is how stdlib can be an example to how side libraries can be
implemented. If we can agree that this is the only clear, performant
and sufficient code - then perhaps modifying mypy is a reasonable
price to pay.
Perhaps this particular case can be just patched locally by PyCharm
/JetBrains, but what is a general solution to this class of problems?
Best Regards,
