Description
We face a lot of mypy errors due to the dynamic nature of inherit_names
. See issue #31716 and the discussion that evolved there.
Summary:
In the past, we added explicit type annotations to the respective classes, but this approach doesn't scale.
As mypy is a static type checker, it cannot understand the dynamic nature of inherit_names by design. The only alternative would be to refactor inherit_names
to work by inheritance instead of dynamic assignments. This would make the code more understandable to humans as well.
