Description
I opened microsoft/pyright#3641 as I wondered why pyright
didn't recognise how we type Uninferable
. Normally they are a little bit more up to date than mypy
so I wondered if this was intentional.
Turns out it is. According to them, the way we currently handle the typing of Uninferable
is incorrect and should ideally be refactored.
As we're stille early days into the typing of astroid
I think there is still chance to do this.
Their suggestion is to create a private class (_Uninferable
) which Uninferable
can then instantiate. One of the issues with this is that we tend to require Uninferable
as a type in pylint
as well and so we would need to import that private class as well.
We could also create a public class, perhaps suffixed with Type
, which we document as only being useful for typing.
Let me know if you guys thinks this is something we should do and what approach is best.
