Hi!

Consider this simple script ...

___________________
from typing import List, Optional

class GLOBALS:
     foos=None

class Foo:

     def __init__(self):
         pass

class Foos:
     Foos: List[Foo]=[]
     # SOME GLOBALS ARE USED HERE in a real script

     def __init__(self):
         pass

GLOBALS.foos: Optional[Foos]=Foos()

Running mypy on it:
pt9.py:18: error: Type cannot be declared in assignment to non-self attribute pt9.py:18: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Foos", variable has type "None")
Line  18 is last line and pt9.py is the scrip.

Replacing last line by
GLOBALS.foos=Foos()
and running mypy still gives the second error.
pt9.py:18: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Foos", variable has type "None")

What is the common practice in these cases?

Thank you.


I don't understand

class Foos:
     Foos: List[Foo]=[]

If "Foos" is supposed to be a class attribute, then it cannot have the same name as the class. Perhaps you meant the class to be named "Foo". Then a class attribute of Foos: List[Foo]=[] might barely make sense. Even then, remember that each instance of Foo would only know about the same (originally empty) list Foos. Is that really what you want?
