Support Python 3.12 Syntax for Generics (PEP 695)
Yes, I can switch back from pyright to mypy!
Should you? If they're gonna take a year after public release to support that version of python what's the point of the tool. At least that's where I'm at currently when it comes to mypy.
pyright runs circles around mypy when it comes to performance.
There are lots of tools that don't support every (or any) feature of Python 3.12 that are nevertheless useful, so that seems like a pretty arbitrary line to expect others to care about. Heck, pyright can't even run under Python 3.12, as it is written in TypeScript, but I'm not going to say that makes it pointless.
I don't, what? What on earth are you talking about?
I'm talking about mypy the static type checker taking a year to support a new version of python. That makes it a very bad tool for static type checking if I want to not wait a year to use new python version features like the new (old) generics syntax.
What the fuck does the implementation language of pyright have anything to do with anything.
And requiring nodejs makes pyright a bad tool for static type checking if you don't want to have nodejs installed. Does this seem like a weird concern to hyperfocus on and expect everyone else to be angry about? That is my point. Things can be not-optimal for some particular set of preferences without rendering a tool pointless.
What is the point of using pyright outside of vscode?
To type check one's code without using VSCode (e.g. in a terminal, in a different editor, or in CI).
lol "wtf do the dependencies my projects have have to do with my projects"
I the context of problems where a tool doesn't do what it's supposed to do another tool requiring a dependency on my machine doesn't even warrant a mention. I genuinely do not get where the association even came from. It's like the mentality of a child "well this other tool isn't perfect and stuff so there".
mypy also has tons of bugs and produces way more false positives than pyright from my experience.
Yeah. Also more false negatives, due to it being fairly conservative at what it considers typed. Ie. it won't even try typing dependencies that don't declare they're typed, while pyright will attempt to infer types where it can. Admittedly, this can sometimes make it harder to suppress warnings when using untyped dependencies, but in practice, I find I prefer pyright's approach here.
Yay! I had forgotten that the new type statement for explicit type aliases was part of PEP 695.
It works, but quoting the release post for anyone wanting to try it, you still need to enable an experimental flag first:
This feature is still experimental and must be enabled with the --enable-incomplete-feature=NewGenericSyntax flag, or with enable_incomplete_feature = NewGenericSyntax in the mypy configuration file.
partial is a great tool and I'm glad it can be type checked now
That explains why my code crimes are no longer accepted by MyPy.

partial(partial, …) might be one of the funniest pieces of code I’ve ever seen
