Invalid self argument "Type[A[Any]]" to attribute function "bar" with type "Callable[[Type[A[int]]], None]"
This error message is confusing, because it's implying it's Any
when it's actually not, it looks like the error message is wrong.
I would think an error message like Invalid self argument "Type[A[T]]" to attribute function "bar" with type "Callable[[Type[A[int]]], None]"
would be more accurate.
Also, with the foo
example, why is it only complaining on the type alias and not on the raw usage? This is inconsistent with the class method example
