I agree that this is a bug. `types.Union` is also missing a __getitem__ implementation. And `typing.Union` supports pickling while `types.Union` doesn't: >>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(int | str)) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: cannot pickle 'types.Union' object >>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(Union[int, str])) typing.Union[int, str] I don't have a use case for pickling types but someone might. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue44490> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
