I think it should be safe to use a constrained type variable if there are no constraints that are subtypes of other constraints (which is the case for AnyStr on Python 3, where bytes is not a subtype of str). Could you please open an issue about this on mypy tracker? In the meantime, you can just silence the error with a `# type: ignore`. -- Ivan
