New submission from Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpyt...@gmail.com>:
typing._GenericAlias represents two different types: user defined (like List[int]) and special (like List). They have different behavior, and common methods contain special cases. The proposed PR rewrites the implementation in more object-oriented paradigm: different classes for different behavior. _GenericAlias is split on three classes: user defined (it may be replaced with GenericAlias in future), special, and the base class for common methods. Its subclasses are also split on classes for special types Tuple and Callable and for parametrized Callable[] and Annotated[]. The work is not finished yet and the code is still complex. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 367312 nosy: gvanrossum, levkivskyi, serhiy.storchaka priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Refactor typing._GenericAlias type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40397> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
