New submission from Alex Waygood <alex.wayg...@gmail.com>:
`help()` appears confused about the module of `typing.Annotated`. If you call `help()` on a parameterised "instance" of `typing.Annotated`, it will claim that `Annotated` belongs to whatever module the annotated type is from. Additionally, `help()` appears not to know about the `__metadata__` attribute of `typing.Annotated`. ``` >>> from typing import Annotated, Callable >>> t = Annotated[int | str, "Some metadata"] >>> help(t) Help on _AnnotatedAlias in module types: Annotated = int | str >>> u = Annotated[Callable[[int], str], "Some metadata"] >>> help(u) Help on _AnnotatedAlias in module typing: Annotated = typing.Callable[[int], str] >>> s = Annotated[int, "Some metadata"] Help on _AnnotatedAlias in module builtins: Annotated = class int(object) | int([x]) -> integer | int(x, base=10) -> integer # (etc., giving the entire output of help() for `int`) ``` ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, Library (Lib) messages: 403258 nosy: AlexWaygood, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: help() appears confused about the module of typing.Annotated type: behavior versions: Python 3.10, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45380> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
