New submission from Bas van Beek <bas.vanb...@hotmail.com>:
`Ellipsis` is one of the few builtin objects whose type is not exposed via the `types` module. This is not really an issue during runtime, as you can always call `type(Ellipsis)`, but for the purpose of typing it is detrimental; the lack of suitable type means that it is impossible to properly annotate a function which takes or returns `Ellipsis` (unless one is willing to resort to the use of non-public types: https://github.com/python/typeshed/issues/3556). In order to resolve this issue I propose to reintroduce `types.EllipsisType`. This should be a fairly simple process, so if there are no objections I'd be willing to give it a shot. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 377135 nosy: BvB93 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Consider reintroducing `types.EllipsisType` for the sake of typing type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41810> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
