Hmmmmm.... more mypyc issues.

>   to_check.update(m for m in vars(runtime) if not m.startswith("_"))
1391E   TypeError: dict object expected; got mappingproxy

So without any success I tried a) replacing vars with __dict__ and b)

-    to_check.update(m for m in vars(runtime) if not m.startswith("_"))
+    vars_runtime = cast(types.MappingProxyType[str, Any], vars(runtime))  # help mypyc out
+    to_check.update(m for m in vars_runtime if not m.startswith("_"))

Maybe we need to change typeshed stubs? eg https://github.com/python/typeshed/blob/master/stdlib/2and3/builtins.pyi#L42 (update: couldn't get changing this and the return type of vars to MappingProxyType to work)

Is there an easy mypyc workaround?

(Using tox -e py35 --notest; source .tox/py35/bin/activate; pip install -r mypy-requirements.txt; CC=clang MYPYC_OPT_LEVEL=0 python3 setup.py --use-mypyc build_ext --inplace; pytest -k test_arg_name; deactivate to repro)

Tried a couple things, gave up, came back and found the big off switch. Let me know if you know how to actually fix mypyc's complaints.

Just took a look at the fresh mypyc errors (after adding stubtest to MYPYC_BLACKLIST). 3.5.1 and 3.7 have different failures.

I can't repro the 3.5.1 one (but I'm using 3.5.9). So maybe not a mypyc issue? Scanned through changelog for py35, but nothing popped up. Maybe one of you would recognise it if it were a Python version issue. I'll investigate more later.

mypy/stubtest.py:59: in Error
1302    runtime_desc: Optional[str] = None

1304    "Cannot subscript an existing Union. Use Union[u, t] instead.")
1305E   TypeError: Cannot subscript an existing Union. Use Union[u, t] instead.

The 3.7 one is a legitimate complaint. I abused LiteralType because a) it seemed to worked out of the box for other types, b) literals can sometimes give more informative errors, c) it type checked, because runtime is Any. One note is that LiteralValue seems to be typed wrong; as per https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/literal_types.html#parameterizing-literals it should at least accept bytes (and enums, which actually happens to be the unit test failure here)

Guess I'll have to update the comment before L893:

    # Technically, Literals are supposed to be only bool, int, str or bytes, but this
    # seems to work fine
    return mypy.types.LiteralType(
        value=runtime,
        fallback=mypy.types.Instance(type_info, [anytype() for _ in type_info.type_vars]),
    )

I tried with 3.5.3 and couldn't repro either. Unfortunately, I can't get a working version of 3.5.2 or 3.5.1 (pyenv fails with ssl issues and manually built python runs into zlib issues).

Do we still need to be specifically compatible with 3.5.1? https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/.travis.yml#L26 (line is from 2016) 3.5.1 is over four years old, and EOL for 3.5 is in seven months.

Update: seems to work in travis using 3.5.3 as well, https://travis-ci.org/hauntsaninja/mypy/builds/647868830

Looks like virtualenv had a new release today that's broken various different parts of the build. I'll attempt to fix in another PR.

Phew, all green now!

Sorry, I had meant to double back on this and it slipped through the cracks. __dict__ is going to have trouble, since compiled objects don't have them. We do some hacks such as https://github.com/python/mypy/blob/master/mypy/util.py#L312-L321 to deal with some of these issues. mypyc compiled objects also all have a __getstate__ method that will return a dictionary.

mypyc really needs to implement a system for overriding lies in typeshed (as discussed mypyc/mypyc#676).

I think the workaround here would be to do cast(Any, vars)(runtime). Casting the return of vars is too late, since mypyc will have already checked that it matches the original type.

If you want to follow-up with another attempt to get it to work, I'll review it quickly. But it isn't particularly critical.
