Summary
In python/typeshed#13520 the typeshed definition of
typing.Any
was changed fromAny = object()
toclass Any: ...
. Our automated typeshed updater pulled down this change in #17106, with the consequence that we no longer understandAny
, which is... not good.This PR gives us the ability to understand
Any
defined as a class instead ofobject()
. It doesn't remove our ability to understand the old form. Perhaps at some point we'll want to remove it, but for now we may as well support both old and new typeshed?This also directly patches typeshed to use the new form of
Any
; this is purely to work around our tests that no known class is inferred asUnknown
, which otherwise fail with the old typeshed and the changes in this PR. (All other tests pass.) This patch to typeshed will shortly be subsumed by #17106 anyway.Test Plan
Without the typeshed change in this PR, all tests pass except for the two
known_class_doesnt_fallback_to_unknown_unexpectedly_*
tests (so we still support the old form of definingAny
). With the typeshed change in this PR, all tests pass, so we now support the new form in a way that is indistinguishable to our test suite from the old form. And indistinguishable to the ecosystem check: after rebasing #17106 on this PR, there's zero ecosystem impact.
